Re: [gentoo-user] Installing 2005.0 with LVM2
OK. Installation complete. Everything went fine (well, I'm a lier ;) ). Anyways, just a few more queries... During the installation, I extended one of the volumes by 2GB. But if I run df -hT, it still shows me the previous value. Why is this? How do I solve this? Also, after installation, now, if I want to expand a volume, do I have to do it from the LiveCD?

Did you grow the filesystem into the space you made with LVM ? Yes, unless its a non-core partition and can be unmounted, and even then it would probably still be safer to do from a livecd.

Thank you. :) Regards, Mrugesh Karnik Hi, A week ago also tried to install using LVM2, but couldn't resolve a Bug (lvm2 linked to libgmp), see gentoo-lvm2-docs, so went for a normal install. Made the devices with 'vgmknodes' command, then they exist in /dev/vg/... HTH Rumen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
