Re: Transfer storage from home to var
Hi Dashamir, The reassigning seemed to finally work using: sudo lvresize -r -L-10G /dev/vg_system/skole+tjener+home0 sudo lvresize -r -L+10G /dev/vg_system/var Then I'm getting the following output: root@tjener:/skole/tjener/home0/roman# sudo vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name vg_system System ID Formatlvm2 Metadata Areas1 Metadata Sequence No 79 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV0 Cur LV10 Open LV 10 Max PV0 Cur PV1 Act PV1 VG Size 930.55 GiB PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 238222 Alloc PE / Size 238088 / 930.03 GiB Free PE / Size 134 / 536.00 MiB VG UUID 1Ekw6T-kY0s-iJjc-HV4x-ldxG-kQNh-ZTAATE root@tjener:/skole/tjener/home0/roman# sudo lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Path/dev/vg_system/root LV Nameroot VG Namevg_system LV UUIDKm3Z2m-ei4I-zPaG-AanS-oPsF-4y1u-BmGGag LV Write Accessread/write LV Creation host, time localhost, 2019-12-22 00:17:48 + LV Status available # open 1 LV Size<38.36 GiB Current LE 9820 Segments 7 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:0 --- Logical volume --- LV Path/dev/vg_system/usr LV Nameusr VG Namevg_system LV UUIDyhlCZE-cqhZ-DvAd-aHBc-Mdhr-nwDS-abfPMN LV Write Accessread/write LV Creation host, time localhost, 2019-12-22 00:17:49 + LV Status available # open 1 LV Size25.00 GiB Current LE 6400 Segments 4 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:2 --- Logical volume --- LV Path/dev/vg_system/var LV Namevar VG Namevg_system LV UUIDFcNFe9-yd08-DKtF-u3Cl-OGvr-mF48-USUnAV LV Write Accessread/write LV Creation host, time localhost, 2019-12-22 00:17:49 + LV Status available # open 1 LV Size<27.26 GiB Current LE 6978 Segments 5 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:3 --- Logical volume --- LV Path/dev/vg_system/var+log LV Namevar+log VG Namevg_system LV UUIDMYTIao-Vio4-jRik-0gb3-Egg7-sQbc-UMaeNe LV Write Accessread/write LV Creation host, time localhost, 2019-12-22 00:17:49 + LV Status available # open 1 LV Size<4.77 GiB Current LE 1220 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:4 --- Logical volume --- LV Path/dev/vg_system/swap_1 LV Nameswap_1 VG Namevg_system LV UUIDlQSvdd-hcUB-9bdV-LkN1-UiMI-PhqC-zLW71E LV Write Accessread/write LV Creation host, time localhost, 2019-12-22 00:17:49 + LV Status available # open 2 LV Size3.81 GiB Current LE 976 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:1 --- Logical volume --- LV Path/dev/vg_system/opt LV Nameopt VG Namevg_system LV UUIDQ23PB4-n1bk-H3Xg-kjjO-NbUA-AZ8n-9TWQzw LV Write Accessread/write LV Creation host, time localhost, 2019-12-22 00:17:50 + LV Status available # open 1 LV Size<37.52 GiB Current LE 9604 Segments 3 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:5 --- Logical volume --- LV Path/dev/vg_system/var+opt+ltsp+swapfiles LV Namevar+opt+ltsp+swapfiles VG Namevg_system LV UUIDjpN2ka-TLP3-1GsX-lUlV-Khz7-7QGt-BkM8km LV Write Accessread/write LV Creation host, time localhost, 2019-12-22 00:17:50 + LV Status available # open 1 LV Size3.81 GiB Current LE 976 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to
Re: Transfer storage from home to var
Hi Petter, The following worked based on your suggestion: sudo lvresize -r -L-10G /dev/vg_system/skole+tjener+home0 sudo lvresize -r -L+10G /dev/vg_system/var I hope this was safe and nothing got lost on home0 ;) Kind regards, Roman > On 02/03/2023 9:04 AM GMT Petter Reinholdtsen wrote: > > > [Roman Meier] > > However, extending the size of /var didn't work: > > > > sudo lvextend -L+5G /dev/vg_system/var > > Insufficient free space: 1280 extents needed, but only 138 available > > I would strongly recommend not using lvextend, and instead use lvresize > -r.

I suspect the underlying LVM logical volume is already increased, but the file system on top is not, and thus you do not see the space. Perhaps 'lvresize -r -L+1M /dev/vg_system/var' work better. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
Re: Transfer storage from home to var
Hi Petter, I wrote the email a bit too hastily. Sorry for causing this confusion. It's /var and not /dev. Again, I was able to nicely reduce the size of /skole/jener/home0. However, extending the size of /var didn't work: sudo lvextend -L+5G /dev/vg_system/var Insufficient free space: 1280 extents needed, but only 138 available Kind regards, Roman > On 02/02/2023 9:21 PM GMT Petter Reinholdtsen wrote: > > > [Roman Meier] > > As mentioned in my email, I was able to reduce the size of > > /skole/jener/home0.

The first step should look like this: umount /dev/vg_system/home e2fsck -f /dev/vg_system/home resize2fs /dev/vg_system/home 90G # assuming it is 100G For the second step you use the lvresize or lvreduce, as explained by Petter.

Reducing home in LVM would just make ununsed space available to LVM, visible using vgs. This unused space chan then be allocated to other partitions using lvresize on this partition. You might want to check if you really need space on /dev/, it seem like the wrong partition to extend. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
Re: Transfer storage from home to var
Hi Petter, Thanks for your fast reply! As mentioned in my email, I was able to reduce the size of /skole/jener/home0. I therefore logged in als root and unmounted /skole/jener/home0. For unknown reasons this space is however not made available to be reassigned to /dev resulting in the error message mentioned.

Transfer storage from home to var
Hi folks, I have run out of storage on /var and I can't extend size because all on the harddrive has been used already. I have about 50G unused space on /skole/jener/home0 but I find it difficult to transfer storage from /skole/jener/home to /dev. I was able to reduce storage of /skole/jener/home by about 10G but assigning 5G of it to /dev results in an error message: root@tjener:/skole/tjener/home0/roman# sudo lvextend -L+5G /dev/vg_system/var Insufficient free space: 1280 extents needed, but only 138 available root@tjener:/skole/tjener/home0/roman# sudo lvextend -L+9G /dev/vg_system/var Any ideas? Kind regards, Roman
