[Solved] Resizing LVM

[vitaliok78]

Log in directly as root.

Code: Select all

# unmount /home because an ext4 filesystem cannot be reduced while mounted
umount /home

# resize the ext4 filesystem in logical volume zeus-vg/home to 50G
fsck -f /dev/mapper/zeus--vg-home
resize2fs /dev/mapper/zeus--vg-home 50G

# reduce the logical volume zeus-vg/home to 50G
lvreduce -L50G /dev/mapper/zeus--vg-home

# remount /home
mount /home

# extend the logical volume zeus-vg/var by 20G
lvextend -L+20G /dev/mapper/zeus--vg-var

# resize the ext4 filesystem in logical volume zeus-vg/var to the new volume size
resize2fs /dev/mapper/zeus--vg-var

You can of course adjust the indicated sizes. I advise to not allocate all the available space to /var at once and keep some free space for future growth of any logical volume when needed. Extending a logical volume (and its filesystem) is easy : just repeat the above last two commands.

I fully resolved the matter regarding resizing the LVM disk without issues.

Glad to read it, but I already knew from your title change and it does not answer my question.

Thanks P.H, for giving the instructions you gave, as for the full quote , with no additional comment, or anything, I don't know :
Please learn to stop misusing "full quoting."
It does not make sense to me either when some one does that.
