unfortunately no, my fdisk -l command is not showing the increased allocated space until i reboot. I want to force the kernel to see the extra space allocated on /dev/sda without having any downtime.
Simple question: i need a linux distro wich support

Hi All,
I have an issue when trying to hot-add a SAN disk to an oracle enterprise linux 5.5 server.
The storage array we are using is an HP 24000, we have no issues with the disk usage for both ASM and LVM setup, it is just a simple matter of not being able to scan for new disk when it is... (4 Replies)
virt-df(1) Virtualization Support virt-df(1)NAME
virt-df - Display free space on virtual filesystems
SYNOPSIS
virt-df [--options]
virt-df [--options] -d domname
virt-df [--options] -a disk.img [-a disk.img ...]
Old style:
virt-df [--options] domname
virt-df [--options] disk.img [disk.img ...]
DESCRIPTION
"virt-df" is a command line tool to display free space on virtual machine filesystems. Unlike other tools, it doesn't just display the
size of disk allocated to a virtual machine, but can look inside disk images to see how much space is really being used.
If used without any -a or -d arguments, "virt-df" checks with libvirt to get a list of all active and inactive guests, and performs a
"df"-type operation on each one in turn, printing out the results.
If any -a or -d arguments are specified, "virt-df" performs a "df"-type operation on either the single named libvirt domain, or on the disk
image(s) listed on the command line (which must all belong to a single VM). In this mode (with arguments), "virt-df" will only work for a
single guest. If you want to run on multiple guests, then you have to invoke "virt-df" multiple times.
Use the --csv option to get a format which can be easily parsed by other programs. Other options are similar to the standard df(1)
command.
EXAMPLES
Show disk usage for a single libvirt guest called "F14x64". Make the output human-readable:
# virt-df -d F14x64 -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use%
F14x64:/dev/sda1 484M 66M 393M 14%
F14x64:/dev/vg_f13x64/lv_root 7.4G 3.4G 4.0G 46%
Show disk usage for a disk image file called "test.img":
$ virt-df -a test1.img
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use%
test1.img:/dev/sda1 99099 1551 92432 2%
OPTIONS --help
Display brief help.
-a file
--add file
Add file which should be a disk image from a virtual machine. If the virtual machine has multiple block devices, you must supply all
of them with separate -a options.
The format of the disk image is auto-detected. To override this and force a particular format use the --format=.. option.
-c URI
--connect URI
If using libvirt, connect to the given URI. If omitted, then we connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
If you specify guest block devices directly (-a), then libvirt is not used at all.
--csv
Write out the results in CSV format (comma-separated values). This format can be imported easily into databases and spreadsheets, but
read "NOTE ABOUT CSV FORMAT" below.
-d guest
--domain guest
Add all the disks from the named libvirt guest. Domain UUIDs can be used instead of names.
--format=raw|qcow2|..
--format
The default for the -a option is to auto-detect the format of the disk image. Using this forces the disk format for -a options which
follow on the command line. Using --format with no argument switches back to auto-detection for subsequent -a options.
For example:
virt-df --format=raw -a disk.img
forces raw format (no auto-detection) for "disk.img".
virt-df --format=raw -a disk.img --format -a another.img
forces raw format (no auto-detection) for "disk.img" and reverts to auto-detection for "another.img".
If you have untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should use this option to specify the disk format. This avoids a possible
security problem with malicious guests (CVE-2010-3851).
-h
--human-readable
Print sizes in human-readable format.
You are not allowed to use -h and --csv at the same time.
-i
--inodes
Print inodes instead of blocks.
--one-per-guest
Run one libguestfs appliance per guest. Normally "virt-df" will add the disks from several guests to a single libguestfs appliance.
You might use this option in the following circumstances:
o If you think an untrusted guest might actively try to exploit the libguestfs appliance kernel, then this prevents one guest from
interfering with the stats printed for another guest.
o If the kernel has a bug which stops it from accessing a filesystem in one guest (see for example RHBZ#635373) then this allows
libguestfs to continue and report stats for further guests.
--uuid
Print UUIDs instead of names. This is useful for following a guest even when the guest is migrated or renamed, or when two guests
happen to have the same name.
Note that only domains that we fetch from libvirt come with UUIDs. For disk images, we still print the disk image name even when this
option is specified.
-v
--verbose
Enable verbose messages for debugging.
-V
--version
Display version number and exit.
-x Enable tracing of libguestfs API calls.
STATVFS NUMBERS
"virt-df" (and df(1)) get information by issuing a statvfs(3) system call. You can get the same information directly, either from the host
(using libguestfs) or inside the guest:
From the host
Run this command:
guestfish --ro -d GuestName -i statvfs /
(change "/" to see stats for other filesystems).
From inside the guest
Run this command:
python -c 'import os; s = os.statvfs ("/"); print s'
(change "/" to see stats for other filesystems).
NOTE ABOUT CSV FORMAT
Comma-separated values (CSV) is a deceptive format. It seems like it should be easy to parse, but it is definitely not easy to parse.
Myth: Just split fields at commas. Reality: This does not work reliably. This example has two columns:
"foo,bar",baz
Myth: Read the file one line at a time. Reality: This does not work reliably. This example has one row:
"foo
bar",baz
For shell scripts, use "csvtool" (<http://merjis.com/developers/csv> also packaged in major Linux distributions).
For other languages, use a CSV processing library (eg. "Text::CSV" for Perl or Python's built-in csv library).
Most spreadsheets and databases can import CSV directly.
SHELL QUOTING
Libvirt guest names can contain arbitrary characters, some of which have meaning to the shell such as "#" and space. You may need to quote
or escape these characters on the command line. See the shell manual page sh(1) for details.
EXIT STATUS
This program returns 0 if successful, or non-zero if there was an error.
