Cant resize with LVM plz help

sendas4 · 10-21-2004, 03:13 AM

I have 2 80gb hds running gentoo and LVM2

i type in lvextend -L+5G /dev/vg/movies

and it tells me extending logical Volume to 20GB
Logical Volume movies successfully resized.

But when i df -h the size is still 15G same goes if i try to lvextend any of my other /dev/vg 's

anyone know what causes this?

Is that the only command you running to extend the partitions? I think your missing a few commands

well ya after i added the 2nd HD to the vg group. so i did this

Code:

vgextend vg /dev/hdb1

Code:

lvextend -L+5G /dev/vg/movies

what am i missing?

Here's the steps I usually take say if I wanted to extend my scratch partition:

sudo umount /dev/vg/scratch
sudo lvextend --size +5g /dev/rootvg/scratch
sudo e2fsck -f /dev/rootvg/scratch
sudo resize2fs /dev/rootvg/scratch
sudo mount /scratch

Note: I only have sudo in front as I rarely login as root, which is a good thing.
