Proxmox Expand /dev/pve/data

[laptopdude90]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded the drives in my Proxmox machine to 1TB from 300GB. Is there an easy way to extend the /dev/pve/data partition so I can use all this extra space?

I've tried this already:

root@proxmox:~# lvextend -L800G /dev/mapper/pve-data
Extending logical volume data to 800.00 GiB
Insufficient free space: 163360 extents needed, but only 4095 available

root@proxmox:~# lvextend -L800G /dev/pve/data
Extending logical volume data to 800.00 GiB
Insufficient free space: 163360 extents needed, but only 4095 available

Hi,
you need first to extend your VG. Resize your partition (reboot required) or create an new partition, which you added to the pve-VG.
After that, you can extend your LV and the filesystem.

Hi,
yes - only expand the existing partition need an reboot, because the actual partitiontable is cached fron the kernel (lvm).
If you add an partition, you should be able to extend the VG.
