Subject: [linux-lvm] Extend VG - Expand LUN vs New Disk
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 08:30:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5677F0E5.5050101@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi everyone,
Are there any major differences between expanding an existing LUN
(already striped & mirrored on storage-array) and use pvresize &
"lvextend -r ..." vs adding a new disk to your VG when you need to
expand an existing filesystem?
At work we do the latter and almost everyone believes expanding an
existing LUN is not a safe operation. Is there really a preferred
method? Or is it just a matter of personal preference?
Thanks!
Jorge
