A single VG on the server: VolGroup00; four LV's: LogVol00 to 03 == Problem == The 71G /usr/local (VolGroup00-LogVol02) hit 100% I shut the server down and increased the 65G virtual disk up to 295G (+230G) -- the thought process: take /usr/local from 71G to ~300G.

My suspicion was confirmed with pvdisplay -s (and pvs) Device "/dev/sda3" has a capacity of 0 Device "/dev/sdb1" has a capacity of 0 Device "/dev/sdb2" has a capacity of 71.83 GiB But I am confused even further; I thought pvdisplay was referring to the physical disks, but fdisk does not show a missing 71G for /dev/sdb2 pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda3 VolGroup00 lvm2 a-- 25.80g 0 /dev/sdb1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a-- 65.00g 0 /dev/sdb2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a-- 229.99g 71.83g vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree VolGroup00 3 4 0 wz--n- 320.79g 71.83g == Questions == Where did I go wrong, or did I go wrong?
