All filesystems are ext2. I have created PV's, VG's and 2 LV's each of 8Gb and created ext2 filesystems on them and mounted them successfully. Now I want to extend 'lv02' to 16Gb but lvextend claims the LV is not active. Similarly lvdisplay only lists the LV using '-d'. I created this setup using Yast (not the command-line). Is there any way to retrieve the situation ? I am not at all familiar with LVM configuration files and this is a live system :-( Thanks, as always, for any help. -- Andy Cowling RedEye International # lvextend -L +3920M /dev/pv01/lv01 /dev/sdb1 lvextend -- logical volume "/dev/pv01/lv01" isn't active # lvscan lvscan -- ACTIVE "/dev/pv02/lv02" [7.81 GB] lvscan -- ACTIVE "/dev/pv01/lv01" [7.84 GB] lvscan -- 2 logical volumes with 15.65 GB total in 2 volume groups lvscan -- 2 active logical volumes # vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found active volume group "pv01" vgscan -- found active volume group "pv02" vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: you may not have an actual backup of your volume groups # pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdb1" of VG "pv01" [3.83 GB / 3.83 GB free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdb2" of VG "pv01" [3.83 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdc2" of VG "pv02" [4.39 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdc3" of VG "pv01" [4.01 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdd2" of VG "pv02" [4.39 GB / 1000 MB free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdd3" of VG "pv01" [4.01 GB / 4.01 GB free] pvscan -- total: 6 [24.48 GB] / in use: 6 [24.48 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] # lvdisplay /dev/pv01/lv01 lvdisplay -- logical volume "/dev/pv01/lv01" is not active; try -D # lvdisplay -D /dev/pv01/lv01 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/pv01/lv01 VG Name pv01 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available LV # 1 # open 0 LV Size 7.84 GB Current LE 2007 Allocated LE 2007 Allocation next free Read ahead sectors 128 Block device 58:0
