I have Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS running off a 16GB SanDisk USB pendrive in my server. From what I can remember, when I installed Ubuntu on there I had enabled LVM support. For some reason, when I ssh
into my server, it says / is using 99.6% of 3.87GB
, but doing sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdm
says:
Disk /dev/sdm: 14.6 GiB, 15664676864 bytes, 30595072 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 7DF91AEG-9DE1-43B2-A7C7-EB564B51FEB2
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sdm1 2048 4095 2048 1M BIOS boot

/dev/sdm3 2101248 30593023 28491776 13.6G Linux filesystem
And output from (parted) print
with /dev/sdm selected gives me:
Model: SanDisk Cruzer Glide (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdm: 15.7GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Running sudo df -h
gives me:

I have left out my ZFS volume above, as it's unnecessary to include it.
Running sudo vgs
gives me:
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
ubuntu-vg 1 1 0 wz--n- 13.58g 9.58g
And, lastly, running sudo lvs
gives me:
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
ubuntu-lv ubuntu-vg -wi-ao---- 4.00g
/dev/sdm
is my root drive by the way. Any insight to this would be helpful. I do have ZFS installed managing other disks, but /
is ext3 or 4.
One other thing to note is that I have LVM enabled because if my USB drive were to ever go bad I wanted to be able to restore the data to a new drive, whether it is smaller or larger than 16GB, and utilize the whole disk.
