[linux-lvm] LV size increase

Hi,

I just got more drives and want to add them to my volume but the max lv size of that volume is 1TB and the current size is like 900GB already so I can not add the new ones because of the size limit.
Is it possible to change the max LV size without loosing any data?

Thanks i.A

Even though LVs are limited to 1TB in your configuration, you can still add
new PVs to that VG making it larger than 1TB.
In that case you can have multiple LVs up to 1TB in size.

No :-(

That's why you need to plan for your maximum LV size
requirements at VG creation.
