Re: How to Resize Partition on LVM

[ray <ray@aarden.us>]

Mario,

Thank you for the review.

Yes, there is free space in the LVM.  I have gone through the manual many times (today and the last several months) and don't see a method to add a pv or vg.  It seems to add a pv, it needs a device.  And to add a vg, it needs a pv.  How can I add either?

Displaying the resize pv:
# pvdisplay -v -m
    DEGRADED MODE. Incomplete RAID LVs will be processed.

  VG Name               mycomp-vg
  PV Size               55.00 GiB / not usable 3.00 MiB
  Allocatable           yes 
  PE Size               4.00 MiB

  Free PE               1695
  Allocated PE          12384
