Dear CentOS-Community, we have a server with four hard drives that are configured as raid10 (/dev/sda). Now, /home and /root are almost full. Therefore, we decided to buy four additional hard drives that should configured also as raid 10 (/dev/sdb). I want to use LVM to extend disk space for root and home. My (successful) test procedure in a virtual environment looks like this: 1. devide /dev/sdb into /dev/sdb1 for root and /dev/sdb2 for home using parted 2. Convert disk to physical volume: pvcreate /dev/sdb1 3. add physical volume to volume group (called centos): vgextend centos /dev/sdb1 4. Allocate physical volume to a logical volume:lvextend -l +100$FREE /dev/centos/root 5. resize2fs /dev/centos/root or xfs_grows /dev/centos/root depending on file system used 6. repeat steps 2-6 for /home and sdb2 The mentioned instruction I've got from this page: https://askubuntu.com/questions/458476/adding-disks-with-lvm#459176 Now my question: Is this procedure really safe or is something missing or are there some steps which I overlooked actually? Kind Regards Felix Kölzow
