Resizing a drive
This process take about 20mins, and requires that the drive be un-mounted. Thus you will want to make sure that people aren't using the drive at the time.
Be aware that you need sudo privileges to do any of this.
The process is made up of five steps:
- Extending the Logical Volume in LVM
- Un-mounting the drive being expanded
- Running a file system check on the drive
- Expanding the file system to match the expanded size of the logical volume
- Re-mounting the drive
Extending the Logical Volume can be done with the drive online using the lvextend command. The -L+50G flag tells LVM to expand the drive by 50GB.
lvextend -L+30G /dev/lvmfiles/media Extending logical volume media to 130.00 GiB Logical volume media successfully resized
Un-mounting the drive is required to expand the file system safely (It could potential be done online, but it's risker and Village may or may not have the correct kernel patches).
umount /export/publicity
Now we need to run a filesystem check before expanding the filesystem. If you don't then the filesystem resize command will complain at you.
This step takes the longest, and the time it take will depend on the size of the drive, but pencil in 20mins or so.
e2fsck -f /dev/lvmfiles/publicity
Now we can actually expand filesystem to make use of the additional space in the Logical Volume.
resize2fs /dev/lvmfiles/publicity
Finally re-mount the drive, and check that nothing broke.
mount /export/publicity
