I then went to expand the PV, and got a "Command not implemented yet." message. This is a problem. This is a *BIG* problem.

Why do you need to resize the PV at all? If you need more space, create a new PV and add it to the LV, that should do the trick. ~David On Sun, 2004-03-21 at 15:01, Glen Harris wrote: > We started running out of space on our backup server, so I bought a > couple of new 250Gb disks, added them to the 16 bay FC RAID array > and expanded the RAID, followed by the slice. > > I then went to expand the PV, and got a "Command not implemented yet." > message. > > This is a problem.
