Greetings all,
I have just inherited an Alpha 3000/800 running OSF/1 V2.0 (which I suspect
we need to upgrade but that's another story). The way the previous SA set up
the filesystems, some are UFS (/ /var /tmp /usr /news for speed) and some
are AdvFS ( /csc /tnc /support -where user accounts and files are ). His
docs say that each AdvFs has its own domain and file set and each is
composed of one logical volume that takes up one complete volume group.
My question is this: I just got two new Seagate 1.3 GB drives and I have
them installed and partitioned and I want to extend all the AdvFs groups
(make them bigger). How do I do this? Currently, a df gives the following
for the AdvFS's:
tcn#tcn 1298432 340268 904240 27% /tcn
csc#csc 1298432 1060824 189584 85% /csc
support#support 898432 804258 94174 90% /support
and I've tried to add the partition rz27e:
e: 1287750 1388475 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 1089 - 2098)
to the csc group (or volume I'm getting them all confused) with the
following commands:
pvcreate /dev/rrz27e
vgextend /dev/csc /dev/rz27e
lvextend -l 631 /dev/csc/csc
each of which reply with a "success".
However, nothing changes and /csc is still 85% full. Here's what a vgdisplay
gives now:
--- Volume groups ---
VG Name /dev/csc
VG Status available
Max LV 255
Cur LV 1
Open LV 1
Max PV 32
Cur PV 2
Act PV 2
PE Size 2097152
Max PE per PV 2032
VGDA 4
Total PE 631 #used to be just 317
Alloc PE 631 #
Free PE 0
--- Logical volumes ---
LV Name /dev/csc/csc
LV Status available/syncd
Current LE 631 #used to be just 317
Allocated PE 631 #
Used PV 2
--- Physical volumes ---
PV Name /dev/rz16c
PV Status available
Total PE 317
Free PE 0
PV Name /dev/rz27e #this part wasn't
PV Status available #here before
Total PE 314
Free PE 0
And here's what lvdisplay /dev/csc/csc gives:
--- Logical volumes ---
LV Name /dev/csc/csc
VG Name /dev/csc
LV Permission read/write
LV Status available/syncd
Write verify off
Mirror copies 0
Schedule parallel
Current LE 631
Allocated PE 631
Bad block on
Allocation strict
What's going on? What am I missing? Any advice on how to procede will be
greatly appreciated.
