Enlarge RootFS In CentOS7
Aug 6, 2015Technology
Disk Preparation
Create a new disk via following command in host machine:
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 Added.qcow2 200G
Boot the machine and you will have the newly added disk as /dev/vdb, format it via
fdisk.
[root@spacewalker ~]# fdisk /dev/vdb
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.23.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.
Device does not contain a recognized partition table

Syncing disks.
You can use partprobe /dev/sda for probing the partitions.
Physical Volume
Create a physical volume and display the pv:
[root@spacewalker ~]# pvcreate /dev/vdb1
Physical volume "/dev/vdb1" successfully created
[root@spacewalker ~]# pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/vda3
VG Name rootvg01
PV Size 96.46 GiB / not usable 23.00 MiB
Allocatable yes (but full)

Total PE 3086
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 3086
PV UUID rq51pP-o3Pw-8mMs-kBiN-wLva-nfLf-Svd9uk
"/dev/vdb1" is a new physical volume of "200.00 GiB"

Add pv into VG(Volume group)
First vgdisplay for get the VG name, then added it into vg, check the free pe, now its 200 GiB available.
[root@spacewalker ~]# vgdisplay

Enlarge the lv
Use following command for first get the lv name, then lvextend to the most available space of the volume group.
[root@spacewalker ~]# lvdisplay
--- Logical volume ---
LV Path /dev/rootvg01/lv01
LV Name lv01

[root@spacewalker ~]# lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/rootvg01/lv01
Size of logical volume rootvg01/lv01 changed from 96.44 GiB (3086 extents) to 296.41 GiB (9485 extents).
Logical volume lv01 successfully resized
[root@spacewalker ~]# lvdisplay

Enlarge in the system level:
[root@spacewalker ~]# df -HT

Now you could enjoy the 300G size diskspace.
Tips on ext4
The Steps are quite the same, but resize via following command:
# qemu-img resize xxx.qcow2 +300G
# lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/vg_centos/lv_root
# resize2fs /dev/vg_centos/lv_root
Or you extend to specified disk size:
[root@csmgmt home]# lvextend -L +500G /dev/vg_centos/lv_root
Size of logical volume vg_centos/lv_root changed from 50.00 GiB (12800
extents) to 550.00 GiB (140800 extents).
Logical volume lv_root successfully resized
[root@csmgmt home]# resize2fs /dev/vg_centos/lv_root
