[SOLVED] Problem increasing LVM

UCS - Univention Corporate Server

Hi!

The short manual would look something like this:

  • use the free 30G space and create a new partition with type Linux LVM
  • use pvcreate with that new partition to create a physical volume (PV)
  • add that PV to your existing volume group (VG) via vgextend
  • now your VG is much larger, so you can call lvextent again to increase the size of your logical volume (LV)
  • resize your filesystem, that is located on your LV vg_ucs-root

EDIT:

Or the one that’s just a little more dangerous:

  • increase the size of partition sda5, but make sure, that the partition start is not altered and the size is not smaller than before (otherwise data loss is imminent).
  • use pvresize to increase the size of your PV to maximum
  • check everything via pvs, vgs and lvs

Best regards,

Sönke
