Check the output of pvs, just to make sure there is room to extend the LV. If there's enough space:
Otherwise the free space may be unpartitioned and we need to take different steps.
Hi
Thanks for your reply. this is the output of the pvs. I don't have free spaces. I have tried your code before, but because of the freespace I won't be able to extend the filesystem size.
I appreciate if you help me.
Output of pvs :
Is Linux running in a virtual machine, or on the physical hardware?
Assuming the latter, it's likely that the remaining ~450 GB is unpartitioned, depending on what options you selected during the installation.
You can check in fdisk, or the graphical palimpsest partitioning tool, if you prefer. You can create a new partition of the required size.
For example, here's an example where I've created a new partition of 5GB from unpartitioned space on /dev/sda, using fdisk:
Everything I typed is in red. You'll need to reboot to update the partition table.
Now run these commands, substituting volume, volume group, logical volume names and sizes for your own:
If Linux is running in a virtual machine, you should add a new hard disk, then run the same commands for (probably) /dev/sdb.
Dear Scott
Thanks alot for your reply. I have followed your code for creating a new partition and I assigned +100G to this. everything was successfull and as you were requested to do a reboot to update the partition, I made a reboot. But I am not able to to access to my GUI. and I'm having an error that is :
, I run the fsck but it is just hanging, showing pages like matrix and just passing numbers fast. I don't whats happened to my OS.
anyway, maybe I format my pc. But as you mention is it possible to just partition the freespace during OS installation. I want to install Oracle Linux 6.4
I haven't seen any pages during installation regarding to the partitions .
I really appreciate your help and support

Hello,
in one default UFS filesystem we have 8K block size (bsize) and 1K fragmentsize (fsize). At this scenary I thought all "FileSytem IO" will be 8K (or greater) but never smaller than the fragment size (1K). If a UFS fragment/blocksize is allwasy several ADJACENTS sectors on disk (in a ... (4 Replies)

Hi All,
I need to increase the filesystem of / and /var (two different slices)? Space will be coming from /home slice so I need to decrease it. Is that possible without reinstallation or in a single-user-mode?
