Free space on disk is not available


I used parted to extend my disk as I would do normally and it appeared successful showing the new 140GB disk.

Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 140GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system  Flags  1      1049kB  1075MB  1074MB  primary  xfs          boot  2      1075MB  140GB   139GB   primary               lvm

(parted) 

When I run pvresize it says that it was was successful and pvdisplay shows:

# pvdisplay                                                     --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sda2
  VG Name               rhel
  PV Size               <129.00 GiB / not usable 2.00 MiB
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size               4.00 MiB
  Total PE              33023
  Free PE               0

  PV UUID               Rqtlv3-Hjdi-0DR6-I0Qs-gysl-SBSL-HdoW7s

So I see that the physical volume did extend it size. I run lvextend then check the logical volume it shows:

And I run vgdisplay to confirm:

# vgdisplay

  VG Name               rhel
  System ID

  VG Size               <129.00 GiB
  PE Size               4.00 MiB
  Total PE              33023
  Alloc PE / Size       33023 / <129.00 GiB

  VG UUID               XmxEl2-K8LQ-3095-V2Z1-quSv-vDx4-QXonOU

All of the sizes show 129.00GB why is it when I run df -h I receive:

# df -h
Filesystem             Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs               1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev

tmpfs                  379M     0  379M   0% /run/user/0

I ran the lvextend to extend rhel/root it still showing the 50G. I also noticed that none of the free space can actually be used. I have done nothing different than how I normally would extend a disk and increase space on the lv. I have reattempted this with the same result. I cannot blow away the disk because there are files living here. Is there something I am missing?


Solution

  • You need resize FS. For ext do:

    resize2fs /dev/mapper/rhel-root
    

    For xfs

    xfs_growfs /
    

    or

    xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/rhel-root
    

    After extending partition
