PVRESIZE(8) System Manager's Manual PVRESIZE(8)NAME
pvresize - resize a disk or partition in use by LVM2
SYNOPSIS
pvresize [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [--setphysicalvolumesize size] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
DESCRIPTION
pvresize resizes PhysicalVolume which may already be in a volume group and have active logical volumes allocated on it.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options.
--setphysicalvolumesize size
Overrides the automatically-detected size of the PV. Use with care, or prior to reducing the physical size of the device.
EXAMPLES
Expand the PV on /dev/sda1 after enlarging the partition with fdisk:
pvresize /dev/sda1
Shrink the PV on /dev/sda1 prior to shrinking the partition with fdisk (ensure that the PV size is appropriate for your intended new parti-
tion size):
pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1
RESTRICTIONS
pvresize will refuse to shrink PhysicalVolume if it has allocated extents after where its new end would be. In the future, it should relo-
cate these elsewhere in the volume group if there is sufficient free space, like pvmove does.
pvresize won't currently work correctly on LVM1 volumes or PVs with extra metadata areas.

Hi Everyone,
Can someone tell me the effect of the pp size of the volume group created for Oracle data.
It would seem that creating small pp's will cause more overhead. What if you make the pp to large? What should I base this size on?
Thanks, (4 Replies)
hi guys,
When for example, I want to get the size of a partition, I have done the following:
# result=`fdisk -l | grep /dev/sda1`
# echo $result
/dev/sda1 1 15000 120487468+ 83 Linux
and then I parse this output to get the size. That's just fine. The problem here is that, when I have a... (4 Replies)
Hi all,
I am writing script that returns the size of each disk or partition when called. I am using FDISK -l and parsing the results to get the result I want.

When we shrink one of the volume in our IBM Storwize V7000, upto 100GB its shrinks well on storage but the shrink space was not reflected on the volume group, it still shows the same space that it has before shrinking. Should I have to export/import the volume group. (10 Replies)
Hi,
Not entirely sure if this is the right thread.
Essentially, fdisk -l shows that /dev/sda is a drive (750 GB), with 1 partition at /dev/sda1 with system type "Linux".
I'm pretty nooby at working with drives, but I'm pretty sure that the output of:
mount /dev/sda1 /media/int
