[linux-lvm] [LVM] Extending LV

[Michaël Berger]

Hello,

I am very new to LVM. Trying to extend a LV after I added a 4th disk in a HW
RAID, but I don't have much luck. I am really hoping someone out there can
help me.

Here is my setup:

[root at sk-nas ~]# fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d0

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 53535.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 440.3 GB, 440345714688 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 53535 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

           Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2              14       35690   286575502+  8e  Linux LVM

Command (m for help):

As one can see /dev/cciss/c0d0 is now 440.3GB, which means that my 4th disk
is "physically" seen in the array. so far so good.

First issue, looks like the 4th disk in not seen by pvscan?

[root at sk-nas ~]# pvscan
  PV /dev/cciss/c0d0p2   VG VolGroup00   lvm2 [273.28 GB / 0    free]
  Total: 1 [273.28 GB] / in use: 1 [273.28 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]
[root at sk-nas ~]#

[root at sk-nas ~]# pvdisplay

  PE Size (KByte)       32768
  Total PE              8745
  Free PE               0
  Allocated PE          8745
  PV UUID               07qmA3-5eD9-klBa-OzWp-XDz1-pUvX-KGXAji

[root at sk-nas ~]#

What should I do, looks like my first disk is not seen by lvm?

Thanks!

Michael
