Use Space from Extended Physical (or Virtual) Disk

 

Use Space from Extended Physical (or Virtual) Disk

First you need to increase the size of the disk being presented to the Linux OS. This is most likely done by expanding the virtual disk in KVM/VMWare/Hyper-V or by adjusting your RAID controller / storage system to increase the volume size. You can often do this while Linux is running; without shutting down or restarting. I’ve extended my 100GB disk to 200GB for my example machine.

Once that is done, you may need to get Linux to rescan the disk for the new free space. Check for free space by running cfdisk and see if there is free space listed, use “q” to exit once you’re done.

If you don’t see free space listed, then initiate a rescan of /dev/sda  with echo 1>/sys/class/block/sda/device/rescan. Once done, rerun cfdisk and you should see the free space listed.

Select your /dev/sda3 partition from the list and then select “Resize” from the bottom menu. Hit ENTER and it will prompt you to confirm the new size. Hit ENTER again and you will now see the /dev/sda3 partition with a new larger size.

Select “Write” from the bottom menu, type yes to confirm, and hit ENTER. Then use “q” to exit the program.

Now that the LVM partition backing the  /dev/sda3 Physical Volume (PV) has been extended, we need to extend the PV itself. Run pvresize /dev/sda3 to do this and then use pvdisplay to check the new size.

As you can see above, my PV has been increased from 98.5GB to 198.5GB. Now let’s check the Volume Group (VG) free space with vgdisplay.

We can see above that the VG has 100GB of free space. Now let’s check the size of our upstream Logical Volume (LV) using lvdisplay, extend the LV to use up all the VG’s free space with lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv, and then check the LV one more time with lvdisplay to make sure it has been extended.

At this point, the block volume underpinning our root filesystem has been extended, but the filesystem itself has not been resized to fit that new volume. To do this, run df -h to check the current size of the file system, then run resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv to resize it, and df -h one more time to check the new file system available space.

BAGI MAKLUMAN PEMEGANG SIJIL KEMAHIRAN MALAYSIA(SKM)SAHAJA.. 1. Adakah sijil kemahiran malaysia diiktraf atau di perakui oleh MQA (pengiktrafan kerajaan) atau badan professional seperti BEM,IEM,IEEE ? adakah sijil kemahiran malaysia diiktraf oleh universiti2 antarabangsa untuk tujuan sambung belajar? Jawapan: Untuk makluman, terdapat tiga sektor di dalam Kerangka Kelayakan Malaysia (MQF) iaitu sektor kemahiran, sektor vokasional dan teknikal dan sektor pengajian tinggi. Rujuk MQF di Lampiran A. Sektor vokasional dan teknikal serta pengajian tinggi adalah di bawah bidang kuasa Agensi Kelayakan Malaysia (MQA) manakala bagi sektor kemahiran adalah di bawah bidang kuasa Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK). Ini adalah berdasarkan akta kedua-dua agensi iaitu Akta Agensi Kelayakan Malaysia 2007 (Akta 679) dan Akta Pembangunan Kemahiran Kebangsaan 2006 (Akta 652). Program latihan dan persijilan di bawah sektor kemahiran adalah tidak memerlukan proses akreditasi/ pengiktirafan MQA. MQA dan JPK

How to resize and extend centos 7 disk manually

 How to resize and extend centos 7 disk manually Resizing The Partition You need to modify the   Linux   partition table within the   virtual machine   to recognize that the disk size has changed. This can be done using the   fdisk   utility, which is a partition editor. For the   virtual machine   provided by Nagios Enterprises: sda1   is used for the   boot   partition sda2   is the device for all logical volumes, this is the partition you need to edit Start   fdisk   by executing the following command: fdisk /dev/sda   You should print the current partition table so you can keep track of your changes as you go: Command (m for help): p Take a screenshot or copy the screen contents into a text file in case you want to reference it later. To resize a partition, you actually "delete" it and then add a new one with the new size, making sure to place the beginning of the new partition at the same sector/cylinder as the old one started. This process is NOT destructive, your data
