lvm and proxmox shows different size pve/data

[weekender]

hello

i'm new to proxmox... i set it up on a quad-core hp server with 2 hardware raid (72 gb scsi and 146 gb scsi).

with lvm i managed to extend the volume group pve to 204 gb extending especially the logical volume data to from 42 to 183 gb

lvm> lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
data pve -wi-ao 183.52G
root pve -wi-ao 17.00G
swap pve -wi-ao 4.00G

but the proxmox homescreen still shows me only 42 gb!?

Festplattenplatz data (42.16GB/663MB)

somewhere in this forum i read a sidenote saying something like it's not possible to add another hdd and extend this partition? so i can only use one of these raid's with proxmox? or i did something wrong? or what lvm tells me is true and i can safely ignore the proxmox homescreen?

clarification is much appreciated!

try to restart pvedaemon

# /etc/init.d/pvedaemon restart

does that help?

thanks for your suggestion. but no - still the same. i also restarted the proxmox server - homescreen still shows 42 gb.

Well, there is a filesystem on dev/pve/data - you also need to expand that. (umount, resize2fs, mount)

And make sure you leave some space for snapshots (4GB)

thanks for your help. everything fine now! proxmox and its users rock!
