Hi.
I added a disk to a hardware raid 5 array and now i want to expand the LVM physical volume. There are now 4 sas 146GB disks in the server. The virtual disk /dev/sdb from the raid controller has been resized successfully with the server management software osma.
[root@srv1 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 438.4 GB, 438489317376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 53309 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 35539 285466986 8e Linux LVM
When i run "pvresize /dev/sdb1" the output tells me it has been resized, but actually the physical volume didn't expand to the partition size 438GB.
[root@srv1 ~]# pvresize /dev/sdb1 Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" changed 1 physical volume(s) resized / 0 physical volume(s) not resized
[root@srv1 ~]# pvdisplay /dev/sdb1 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sdb1 VG Name VolGroup01 PV Size 272.24 GB / not usable 24.17 MB Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 8711 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 8711 PV UUID TCE2wI-U5kt-e8hd-d4gU-ug7Y-aEp9-k5QwG6
How can i resize the physical volume sdb1 to the partition size 438GB?
Thank you in advance, Thomas
