This is kind of a long story but I will try to keep it simple. I have a
linux file/web/mythtv/blah server that I run at my business. I recently
added a 120GB and a 80GB drive to the machine. Here was the setup prior to
that.
120GB Seagate
-9GB / ext3
-1GB Swap
-110GB lvmhome xfs
120GB Seagate
-120GB lvmhome xfs
The 2 lvm partitions were used together as a ~220GB /home partition, and
everything worked well. Then I decided to add the 2 new drives. The
geometry now looks like this
120GB Seagate
-9GB / ext3
-1GB Swap
-110GB lvmhome xfs
120GB Seagate
-120GB lvmhome xfs
120GB Seagate
-80GB lvmhome xfs
-40GB /home/me linuxraid
80GB Seagate
-40GB lvmhome xfs
-40GB /home/me linuxraid
I setup 40GB on each new drive apart in a raid1 mirror using mdadm. Then
with the 120GB of new LVM space due to me, I tried to add it to my LVM
home. I am unable to get the space. Here are the outputs of a few commands
for some help.
tufkal@tux:/home$ sudo lvm lvscan

tufkal@tux:/home$ sudo lvm vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "lvmhome" using metadata type lvm2
tufkal@tux:/home$
According to those, everything looks great! I should have 325GB of space!
tufkal@tux:/home$ cat /etc/fstab | grep lvm
/dev/mapper/lvmhome-home /home xfs
defaults 0 2
And my /home is mounted on my lvm.....
tufkal@tux:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 4.4G 3.0G 1.2G 72% /
tmpfs 253M 0 253M 0% /dev/shm

/dev/mapper/lvmhome-home 218G 197G 22G 91% /home
/dev/md0 39G 29G 7.7G 80% /home/tufkal
BWAH? Why do I only have 220GB of space? I run out of space almost nightly
when MythTV starts transcoding the day's recordings. I gave up trying to
figure out what I did wrong and I ask of you.
More random command line pastes in case they help.

AND WHILE IM AT IT, FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
What is the correct way to add a partition to a LVM (like if I slap another
drive in there).
Thanks in advance.

Forgive me if you said you did this somewhere in the post, but did you
use xfs_growfs to expand the size of the filesystem after you expanded
the size of the logical volume?

Did you grow your filesystem?
