This value musn't be less than usage! And also if your logical volume will be set 200GB it's recommended to set filesystem size 180GB. For example, if your filesystem size is 250 GB and usage is 170GB. You should give new size bigger than file system usage. But be careful when you set new filesystem size. You should resize your filesystem then shrink the logical volume. #e2fsck -f /dev/vgroot/lvroot Step 3:Resize your filesystem before resize your Logical Volume You should check if your filesystem is clear. Step 2:Start and force a filesystem check This command set will activate the volume group. Almost all versions of the Linux bring-up volume group on boot automatically but if not you should use "vgchange" command. On the other hand, if you will shrink root filesystem you should open your system on Boot CD.

Step 1: First take a full backup of your filesystemĪs is always the firsts case before start operation take a full backup of your filesystem whenever you perform a shrink or extend on filesystem logical volume etc.If you will perform this operation on a mounted filesystem like "/app" which is separated from root vg or another mount point you should just umount filesystem and continue operation.

I 'll try to explain how to decrease logical volume size and also Filesystem size on this KB. Logical volume management which named lvm allows you to decrease or increase the size of the logical volume and also filesystem.

To increase the size of the logical volume with the lvresize program, type the lvresize command in the following ~]# lvresize -l +100%FREE # lvresize -l+100%FREE /dev/vg00/lv01 In this example, the path is /dev/vg00/lv01. Note the path of the logical volume that you want to enlarge. LV UUID dB1lWB-1TBC-Sl6S-g09N-v2lk-kXOv-yFYuFf LV Creation host, time somehost, 16:43:12 +0000 To check the status of the logical volumes, enter the following lvdisplay To increase the physical volume, enter the following ~]# pvresize /dev/sda2Īfter entering the command, the following information is ~]# pvresize /dev/sda2ġ physical volume(s) resized or updated / 0 physical volume(s) not resized PV UUID NseCRU-3JHj-Hwcq-BNpX-coVV-jBSy-l0EKWu To display the detailed information about the physical volumes, enter the following ~]# pvdisplayĪfter entering the command, the following information is displayed, for pvdisplay In the following example, the logical volume /dev/mapper/vg00-lv01 uses the ext4 file df -Th | grep "^/dev" To determine the file system, enter the following ~]# df -Th | grep "^/dev" In this example the partition sda2 should be adjusted manually.

In the above example, the logical volume is /dev/mapper/vg00-lv01. Note the logical volume that is to be expanded. To check the available space of the logical volume, enter the following ~]# df -hĪfter entering the command, the following partitioning is displayed, for example:įilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

If this program is not installed on your server, you can install it using the commands below. If you have the Debian 10 or Debian 11 distribution installed on your server, you must install the growpart program. If you have the Ubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 20.04 distribution installed on your server, the growpart program is already installed by default.
