[root@mysystem ~]# pvresize --version LVM version: 2.02.01 (2005-11-23) Library version: 1.02.02 (2006-01-04) Driver version: 4.5.0 Now I have a RAID that had 5 x 300 GB on it and I recently added 3 more. It is in the middle of migrating it data across 8 drives. Once this is completed I am expected to run pvresize /dev/sda to have the increased space recognized. Now my question, may I hear from the folks who have used pvresize before? i.e. successfully recognized the new space in how many minutes etc... The situation I am facing ... it is critical that pvresize does not mess up the RAID or any other settings since we just cannot lose any more time. So I just wanted to be extra sure that this can be done. Please let me know, P.S. : Please CC me on the reply since I am not subscribed on the list.
