How to resize LVM on Centos7/Ubuntu14.04 ?
12月 20th, 2017 No Comments »
After install Centos7, found disk size less, so I need resize the disk, you can use some tools to achieve the function, e.g: GParted or disk-genius. But if your Server disk format is LVM, you can easy to manual adjust that. I don’t know how to resize LVM by Gparted or disk-genius. For this article, will discuss how to adjust Centos7/Ubuntu14.04 by LVM. That should same action/command in Centos and Ubuntu.
If you want to check steps in Ubuntu, can check this attachment: lvm-resize-ubuntu14.04
Follow disk info
Check system contents by “sudo df -H”, check all disk status by “sudo fdisk -l”.

LV only know how mapping to VG, not care PV; And VG build up by PV, so you can easy to extended PV to increased VG’s disk.
Check VG info that is collection by PV
