similar to: resizing filesystem in a VM

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

I have a laptop that I put centos 7 on and I started out with a 30gig partition.? I resized the other part of the disk to allow more space for centos.? I then created an unformated partition in the available space,? ran pvcreate /dev/sda4 vgextend lvname /dev/sda4 lvextend -L 184.46G /dev/lvname/root but when I run: sudo resize2fs /dev/lvname/root I get: resize2fs: Bad magic

I had temporarily started a VM, and it has allocated the memory for it. I have realised that after turning it down, the memory allocated to it, has remained reserved. Now, I need it for Dom0. So, how do I release the RAM that is reserved for VM, and make it available to Dom0? Is reboot the only option? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hey all, I''m trying to figure out how to re-size physical partitions in the Dom U. I''ve read up what I can find on line and finally decided to have Logical Volumes in the Dom 0 and pass them as physical volumes for use in the Dom U. Here''s an example of what I''m doing. To start in the Dom 0 I created the LV''s with lvcreate -n guest_boot -L 100M

Hello everybody, I''m playing with Xen and trying to extend DomU disk space. My Configuration: Dom0: all Xen machine are HVM. They''re installed on LVM. I''ve one VG (XEN) on Dom0 and created a LV (here, xps.101.disk) per DomU. disk configuration in xen conf is as follow: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/XEN/xps.%d.disk,ioemu:hda,w'' % (vmid)

Hi, I am using xen 4.0.1 from debian Squeeze repositories and dom0 has kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64(also stock debian). I wanted to set a high value to maxmem in my xmdomain.cfg vm config files so that I can increase memory as needed without rebooting. Unfortunately as soon as I set this paramater I see really wiered things. For example, I am trying to install a windows HVM guest. When maxmem is

Hi guys, I''ve seen this post regarding "lvm resize" and this contains all the information I need to resize a disk inside domU : http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-11/msg00019.html >From this post: "With this I can extend the LVs in the Dom0, and either shutdown the DomU and resize2fs from Dom0 or even (tested on test VMs and low-use

Sorry for my ignorance. When I create xen virtual machines on lvm I need to create a filesystem on lvm container? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello, We are going to buy some NFS storage for 6-8 VMs on a single host, but want to expand to a second host. What storage recommendations would you give if you have between 2000 and 5000 USD? How about nexenta? what hardware would you use? any vendor? Experiences with openfiler and opennas? Thanks for the responses. Daniel -- +-=====---------------------------+ |

Hai, I use following steps for LV backup. * lvcreate -L 5G -s -n lv_snapshot /dev/VG_XenStorage-7b010600-3920-5526-b3ec-6f7b0f610f3c/VHD-a2db885c-9ad0-46c3-b2c3-a30cb71d83f8 lv_snapshot created* This command worked properly Then issue kpartx command kpartx -av

I came across an old post comment yesterday (from http://echenh.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-extend-lvm-on-vmware-guest-os.html ) discussing the "hack" of LVM on Linux VM guests and whether it's better not to use it to simplify disk management. I've re-posted the comment below, does it sound reasonable? Is it better to not use LVM on Linux VM guests? --Russell

I found a thread that has almost the exact same symptoms as me, but didn't seem to come to a resolution: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2004-December/msg00018.html I have an LVM(2) array that I've just lvextend'd and want to resize2fs, but I can't get through the e2fsck. I get these errors when fsck-ing: Group 3125's inode table at 102400545 conflicts with

Hi. I'm attempting to setup a box here to be a file-server for all my data. I'm attempting to resize an ext3 partition to demonstrate this capability to myself before fully committing to this system as the primary data storage. I'm having some problems resizing an ext3 filesystem after I've resized the underlying logical volume. Following the ext3 resize, fsck spits out lots

Dear CentOS-Community, we have a server with four hard drives that are configured as raid10 (/dev/sda). Now, /home and /root are almost full. Therefore, we decided to buy four additional hard drives that should configured also as raid 10 (/dev/sdb). I want to use LVM to extend disk space for root and home. My (successful) test procedure in a virtual environment looks like this: 1. devide

I'm running CentOS 5.2 x x86_64. I did an lvextend of a logical volume, and proceeded to run one of the ext2 utilities (e.g. ext2online, ext2resize) and found to my surprise that it wasn't on there. So I started googling around, and as far as I can see, though I'm not sure, they're supposed to be a part of the e2fsprogs package. Well, it's installed on the system, at least

Hello Mailing List! A quick question. Has anyone gotten a resize (in my case grown) a Xen DomU disk image? Here is the procedure I have followed: 1. Install a DomU using virt-install Customize xvda to be all one partition ext3 2.
