I'm trying to extend a LVM in a Vmware Workstation 12 Pro CentOS VM. Below are the steps I am following and where I stopped because don't know how to folow from there:
- Create the primary partition using
fdisk
command Get partition table info using
fdisk -l
:# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 85.9 GB, 85899345920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10443 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0001d929 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 64 512000 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 64 5222 41430016 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda3 5222 10443 41940357+ 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/mapper/vg_webserver-lv_root: 38.3 GB, 38277218304 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4653 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Disk /dev/mapper/vg_webserver-lv_swap: 4143 MB, 4143972352 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 503 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Convert the partition to physical volume:
# pvcreate /dev/sda3 Physical volume "/dev/sda3" successfully created
Get the name of the volume to extend:
# vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name vg_webserver System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 3 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 2 Open LV 2 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 39.51 GiB PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 10114 Alloc PE / Size 10114 / 39.51 GiB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID qo4qm0-yTZc-TVzt-Ys0t-Ap2j-sH4X-rtMqPS
Extend the physical volume:
# vgextend vg_webserver /dev/sda3 Volume group "vg_webserver" successfully extended
Get the "free" space available:
# vgextend vg_webserver /dev/sda3 Volume group "vg_webserver" successfully extended
Get the info for logical volume:
# lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/vg_webserver/lv_root LV Name lv_root VG Name vg_webserver LV UUID ayl9Ae-Y7nk-CVXG-c0G1-P4vx-wdlD-hEmXSO LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time webserver.localhost, 2015-10-27 12:48:48 -0400 LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 35.65 GiB Current LE 9126 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:0 --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/vg_webserver/lv_swap LV Name lv_swap VG Name vg_webserver LV UUID vwXfta-tGr0-kQFI-B2vF-L4gT-skE5-yb5qXA LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time webserver.localhost, 2015-10-27 12:48:52 -0400 LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 3.86 GiB Current LE 988 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:1
Extend the logical volume:
# lvextend -L+40G /dev/vg_webserver/lv_root Insufficient free space: 10240 extents needed, but only 10239 available
I got the error above and I don't know where to go from there and how to fix this, can any help me? What I am doing wrong and what is the logical explanation behind the issue I am running?
Note: I have read this but I am not sure how to undone every change I've already made and if this info is the path to follow
UPDATE
