RAID issues
 

Hi we have a centOS server running XEN. My problem is that there is 3*500gig HHDs in RAID 5 config. but when I do a df -H I get this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Vol00-SysRoot 51G 30G 19G 62% /
/dev/hda1 255M 18M 225M 8% /boot
/dev/hdb1 255M 6.4M 236M 3% /boot2
/dev/hdc1 255M 6.4M 236M 3% /boot3
tmpfs 4.2G 0 4.2G 0% /dev/shm.
as you can see there is only 50 gig, which is not enough.

The Server was installed by someone else, along with the XEN. Is there something I am missing? because to my knowledge there must be 1TB available.

Please assist.

Are you running that cmd from the host system?

Hi,

The server seems to be running LVM over MD raid.

Could you please inspect (and paste here) the output of

pvdisplay
vgdisplay
lvdisplay
cat /proc/mdstat

Yep, the /proc/mdstat output and this

PV Name /dev/md0
VG Name Vol00
PV Size 931.03 GB / not usable 28.50 MB
Allocatable yes

Free PE 27993
Allocated PE 1799

confirms you've got RAID and only 1799 physical extents allocated out of a total of 29792.

Total size of md0 is ~ 1TB (PV Size 931.03 GB / not usable 28.50 MB) unusable is reserved for LVM hdrs.

You can pretty much assume LVM v2 there

You have 874.78 GB available to use in your (single) volume group.

You can either extend your existing logical volume Vol00-SysRoot (man lvextend) or create new logical volumes (man lvcreate) and mount them as needed.

Check the LVM howto that Chris linked to, it's very useful.

Thanks for the help guys. I got all my hard drive space now.
