(mind you this involves deleting and recreating the partition in-memory not on disk, unless you make a mistake and do d 1 w, instead of d 1, then n p 1 <return><return><return>) Anyhow, you really should look into extending the partition/LV itself now, depending if you partitioned or not, or used an invalid extent specification Austin -----Original Message----- From: AdabalaP@schneider.com To: LVM general discussion and development Sent: 12/15/2004 8:15 PM Subject: Re: [linux-lvm] How to increase/decrease space "lvextend" did not help.

You've resized the volume but not the filesystem sitting on top of it. Some filesystems can be resized online while others must be unmounted. Some may not be resizable at all.
