Hello,
I have a CentOS VM with only one disk on a Xenserver.
The disk has 2 partitions:
/dev/xvda1 -> /boot
/dev/xvda2 -> a physical volume for LVM
I added 5GB to this disk via Xencenter to extend /dev/xvda2. Usually I
just have to do "pvresize /dev/xvda" to have the additional space added to
the disk. But for some reason it does not work for this disk.
[root ~]# pvresize /dev/xvda
Failed to find physical volume "/dev/xvda".
0 physical volume(s) resized / 0 physical volume(s) not resized

Xvda does not seem to be read as an LVM volume. Xvda2 is handled by lvm so
this can be resized. However xvda is just the harddrive itself. From what I
have learned using lvm briefly, you can only resize lvm volumes or
partitions created using lvm.
[root ~]# pvresize /dev/xvda2
Physical volume "/dev/xvda2" changed
1 physical volume(s) resized / 0 physical volume(s) not resized
Does someone have seen this problem before or could have an idea of the
problem?
Thanks,
Bernard
