[linux-lvm] LV resizing problems

[Andres Salomon]

This VG in general has been giving me problems; I had to vgcfgrestore
last night.  I added a 160 gig drive; pvcreated, vgextended..  I then
tried to lvextend and resize2fs, but resize2fs thought that it was
already at max size.  After removing and readding the partition from the
VG, I tried e2fsadm, and got:


[dilinger at incandescent dilinger]$ sudo e2fsadm -l 28208 /dev/site/lvol1
 e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)

 lvextend -- extending logical volume "/dev/site/lvol1" to 440.75 GB
 lvextend -- doing automatic backup of volume group "site"
 lvextend -- logical volume "/dev/site/lvol1" successfully extended
 resize2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
 The containing partition (or device) is only 75526144 blocks.
 You requested a new size of 115539968 blocks.

The LV remains at the old size (284 gigs) when mounted; lvdisplay shows:

--- Logical volume ---

Has anyone seen/solved this problem?
