File system resizing not supported: fs utilities do not support renamed devices

[leonidas_o]

Running on Proxmox 7.4-16
The VM's on Rocky Linux 9.2
So far I could resize a VM's disk like described in: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Resize....28s.29_in_the_partitions_on_the_virtual_disk

so basically:

# Enlarge the partition
parted /dev/sda
print
resizepart 2 100%
quit
# Enlarge the file system
pvresize /dev/sda2
vgs
lvresize --extents +100%FREE --resizefs /dev/rl/root

But on my Kubernetes worker node VMs the lvresize command is not working, it outputs the following:

  LV /dev/mapper/rl-root mounted at / may have been renamed (from /dev/mapper/rl-root).
  LV /dev/mapper/rl-root mounted at /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay may have been renamed (from /dev/mapper/rl-root).
  LV /dev/mapper/rl-root mounted at /var/lib/kubelet/pods/43374cce-2fcc-4af9-8479-f30c5bb6d0ec/volume-subpaths/hooks-scripts/postgresql/1 may have been renamed (from /dev/mapper/rl-root).
  LV /dev/mapper/rl-root mounted at /var/lib/kubelet/pods/43374cce-2fcc-4af9-8479-f30c5bb6d0ec/volume-subpaths/hooks-scripts/postgresql/2 may have been renamed (from /dev/mapper/rl-root).
  LV /dev/mapper/rl-root mounted at /var/lib/kubelet/pods/5a76c0dd-5a63-4bac-a891-e1e335d62fb1/volume-subpaths/hooks-scripts/postgresql/1 may have been renamed (from /dev/mapper/rl-root).
  File system resizing not supported: fs utilities do not support renamed devices.

Every command before seems to work, only the last command is causing trouble. Appreciate any help.

and what was the exact command you used?

@LnxBil what do you mean? The exact commands are in the post. So the last command was lvresize --extents +100%FREE --resizefs /dev/rl/root

I guess the kubernetes volume mounts somehow mess around with the whole procedure.
I left some commands out in the initial post but if you want to see all of them it is:

sudo su -
lsblk
dmesg | grep sda
fdisk -l /dev/sda | grep ^/dev
# Resize the partition, in this case, partition "2 (LVM PV)" to occupy the whole remaining space of the hard drive)
parted /dev/sda
print
resizepart 2 100%
quit
# Print the current partition table
fdisk -l /dev/sda | grep ^/dev
# Enlarge the file system
pvresize /dev/sda2
# Display the volume group
vgs
# Use all the remaining space on the volume group
lvresize --extents +100%FREE --resizefs /dev/rl/root

Oh sorry, I did not read the --resizefs and thought you missed the command to resize the fs. I wasn't aware that this is possible now. I just did it in two steps, first resize the lvm and afterwards resize the fs itself. Have you tried that?

 

[leonidas_o]

Ahh ok, don't worry, no need to apologise, I'm really happy that someone replied so fast to help me. I appreciate that.
No, unfortunately my knowledge regarding partitioning and file systems is not even beginner level. So I really sticked to the mentioned proxmox "resize disks" doc word by word.
Can you please provide your commands with a little bit explanation?

 

[LnxBil]

We first try to resize the LVM, so it's the same command except the --resizefs part. If that works (no error is shown), we resize the fs afterwards.

lvresize --extents +100%FREE  /dev/rl/root

In order to resize the fs, we need to know what fs it is, please run df -T /.

 

[leonidas_o]

Okay, the first command was working:

# lvresize --extents +100%FREE  /dev/rl/root
  Size of logical volume rl/root changed from <6.20 GiB (1586 extents) to <10.20 GiB (2610 extents).
  Logical volume rl/root successfully resized.

The second command shows the following:

# df -T /.
Filesystem          Type 1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rl-root xfs    6486016 4653140   1832876  72% /

 

[LnxBil]

Good, the filesystem is xfs, so we need to grow it:

xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/rl-root

 

[leonidas_o]

uh, I think that worked, at least no errors, and data blocks increased, df -h also shows /dev/mapper/rl-root 11G 4.5G 5.8G 44% /. So that's it right, no further things to do?

# xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/rl-root

yes, that's all

Amazing, thanks a lot @LnxBil , I really appreciate your help
