- How to Extend LVM Disk on Ubuntu 20.04
# Step 1. Check the file system list sudo df -h /home/ # Step 2. Check the Physical Volume (pv) sudo pvs sudo vgdisplay sudo lvdisplay # Step 3. Create a New Physical Volume sudo fdisk -l sudo lvmdiskscan sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb sudo lvmdiskscan -l # Step 4. Add the new Physical Volume (pv) to Existing Logical Volume (lv) sudo vgextend ubuntu-vg /dev/sdb sudo lvm lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv sudo resize2fs -p /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv sudo df -h
Add new disk
- How to add new disk to existing Volume Group vgextend
# Step 1 Create Physical Volume pvcreate /dev/vdc # Step 2 Add Physical Volume to Existing Volume Group vgdisplay vgextend manjaro_lvm /dev/vdc vgdisplay
- Adding a New Disk Into an Existing Logical Volume. lvextend
umount /dev/serverdata/data fdisk -l pvcreate /dev/sdb vgextend serverdata /dev/sdb vgdisplay serverdata lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/serverdata/data # OR something like # lvextend -L+25G /dev/serverdata/data lvdisplay serverdata e2fsck -f /dev/serverdata/data # optional resize2fs /dev/serverdata/data e2fsck -f /dev/serverdata/data # optional
Delete
- 5.2.5. REMOVING PHYSICAL VOLUMES from RedHat
- How to Delete Volume Group(LVM) in Linux Using 5 Easy Steps
# 1. Check mounted Logical Volume using df command df -h # 2. Unmount the Volume using umount command umount /u01 # 3. Disable Logical Volume using lvchange command lvchange -an /dev/vol_grp/log_grp1 lvscan # 4. Delete Logical Volume using lvremove command lvremove /dev/vol_grp/log_grp1 lvscan # 5. Delete Volume Group using vgremove command vgremove vol_grp vgscan # 6. Delete physical volumes using pvremove command pvremove /dev/sdb pvremove /dev/sda4
