Hi Swen, I am thankful for the detailed technical explanation. I will try to expand the LVM partition by booting from the CentOS CD and will come back to you if I need further support.

First level is the volume itself. This is what you can do within CS. After that you need to extend the partition and then you need to expand the filesystem. The last to levels you need to do within the os of the server. What we do is using cloud-init within our template to automate this. But our templates do not use LVM. Our templates are checking at boot if the root volume has been extended and expanding the partition and the filesystem. If you want to know more about it, I can give you more details.

August 2017 12:00 An: users@cloudstack.apache.org Betreff: Instance with a larger disk size then Template Hi All, I am creating an instance with a 300GB disk from a CentOS 7 template that has 5GB disk (LVM Based). The issue is that the root LVM partition inside the new VM instance still shows 5GB . The device size (/dev/vda) however shows 300GB. The question is what is the best strategy to resize the root LVM partition so that I could use all 300G.
