I have been poring over some instructions with dealing with LVM and I need some help in clarifying what I actually need to do with my real-live situation.
When the RHEL server that is hosting our Web site was set up, I guess it was automatically configured by the setup process. I didn't notice until I started having some errors that the /var directory was only allotted 2GB. We pay for 50GB, but it has become my responsibility to reconfigure the LVM so that we use as much of the 50GB as possible for the Web site. Below are df -h and lvmdiskscan outputs. A few days ago I tried to increase the size of the vg-var directly using lvextend, but it said I needed 32 extents when 0 were available. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any ideas?
