df not showing correct lvm disk size value

Hi all,

Just added a new disk. 160GB.

Created the PV and VG and LV and Filesystem

Mounted it and it is reporting a value that was the original value and not the extended value I have added.

Quote:

root@Zeus-home:/home# lvdisplay /dev/Zeus-misc/misc
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/Zeus-misc/misc
VG Name Zeus-misc
LV UUID IkhYoK-OaDa-46AD-TQGD-d6Lx-pyy5-1xELvh
LV Write Access read/write
LV Status available
# open 0
LV Size 120.00 GB
Current LE 30720
Segments 1
Allocation inherit
Read ahead sectors auto
- currently set to 256
Block device 252:6

When I mount it on /home/misc directory and run a df

Quote:

root@Zeus-home:~# df -h /home/misc/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Zeus--misc-misc
50G 180M 47G 1% /home/misc

Can someone point out whats going on here and what I have done wrong please.

please use the commands below and give the output

pvs
vgs
lvs

Thanks for the prompt reply:

hmmm strange, I dont really get that
maybe the filesystem can be smaller then the logical volume

did u extended the lv sometime? if yes you should resize the fs too
with command resize2fs if i remember right

Sorry everyone... yes you were right hurryi. Seems I missed that part out.

Ive now run it and hey presto!!

Thanks again.
