When I created the LV that I plan to use for root partition of the new VM (Bacteria) I mistakenly clicked on the box to mount the LV, and specified the mount point as /.

Greetings - I had a logical volume that was running out of space on a virtual machine. I successfully expanded the LV using lvextend, and lvdisplay shows that it has been expanded. Then I went to expand the filesystem to fill the new space (# resize2fs -p /dev/vde1) and I get the results that the filesystem is already xx blocks long, nothing to do. If I do a # df -h, I can see that the

...details I am looking for. In general the question I am trying to answer is how to select and use multiple raw logical volumes when creating a new VM, rather than just a single raw logical volume (if it is possible). Here are the details... I have setup my hardware with a single volume group (vg_mei) encompassing my entire raid array. With this I set up my base OS (CentOS 6) for the purpose of managing the hardware and the few VMs that will be created (using KVM). Three LVs were created for the base OS (lv_hostroot, lv_hostswap, and lv_hostvar) to contain the appropriate parts of the base...

..., and what I am seeing as I do some of these steps. My host (earth) is CentOS 6 and so is my guest (disect). The guest (disect) is my testing server. The main objective of what I am trying to do is add a logical volume for /var into my guest. The LV (lv_disectvar) is part of an existing VG (vg_mei) on the host. When I installed my guest OS, I could only select one LV from my host for the installation, so the entire OS was installed into lv_disectroot. I have added lv_disectvar into the storage pool available for VMs through the VirtManager GUI, and successfully added the lv_disectvar to...
