I have an FC3 box with a single 30GB drive. When I built the box, I
knew that I would need more than the 30GB for the /home partition, but
didn't have a larger drive at the time (had one, but it was in use in
the box that this box is replacing). At any rate, I setup the /home
partition to be an lvm partition. I'm now to the point of adding the
new drive to the new machine, but I can't seem to get it to 'see' that
new space. I added the drive, and created (using fdisk) added one
single 160GB lvm (type 8e) partition. I then used vgextend to add that
drive to my volume group (VolGroup00, not creative, but that wasn't the
idea). Then, I did lvextend -L 100G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00, and got
no errors. lvdisplay shows that the LVSize is 150.00GB, but df -h only
shows the following:
[root at linux-fs2 home]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 9.7G 1.7G 7.5G 19% /
none 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
18G 4.5G 13G 27% /home
I'm on the howto from tldp
(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html) now trying to figure
out what I've missed, but would appreciate any gentle nudges in the
right direction.
