Growing a LVM Physical Volume

y2kdread · 30. November 2012

Hi,

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but I just got started with OMV and can't figure this piece out.

What I am trying to do is "Grow" a LVM physical volume I created. This LVM volume is based off of a RAID array that has only 3 disks. Whenever I add the 4th disk to the array, the array grows. I then go back to the physical volumes area in LVM, and don't see anywhere that will let me grow the physical volume. Because of this, I have extra space that is orphaned.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

Manpages are your friend:

Assuming your md device is /dev/md0 (doublecheck please most likely it is 127)

pvresize /dev/md0

And you are done.
