[linux-lvm] lvextend

[Adam Crews]

Hello,

I am having problems trying to extend a lv.

[root at scooby /root]# lvextend -v -l+6514 /dev/mirror_vg/mirror_lv 
lvextend -- checking for valid logical volume path 
lvextend -- locking logical volume manager 
lvextend -- checking existence of logical volume "/dev/mirror_vg/mirror_lv" 
lvextend -- checking for active logical volume "/dev/mirror_vg/mirror_lv" 
lvextend -- reading volume group data of volume group "mirror_vg" from disk(s) 
lvextend -- getting index of logical volume "/dev/mirror_vg/mirror_lv" in volume group "mirror_vg" 
lvextend -- extending logical volume "/dev/mirror_vg/mirror_lv" to 76.16 GB 
lvextend -- setting up logical volume "/dev/mirror_vg/mirror_lv" for extend
lvextend -- not enough free/allocatable physical extents to extend logical volume "/dev/mirror_vg/mirror_lv"
[root at scooby /root]# 


Looing at the vg I see that there is enough free space
