[solved?] out of diskspace - which partition to grow?

Discussion in 'Installation/Configuration' started by niemand-glaumy, Feb 3, 2023.

  1. Good day!
    I'm being stupid once again.

    My client just called me, they have a temporary limit on sending their mails.
    Short google said: My disk space is full.

    Now I went to Hyper-V, increased the disk size of the Ubuntu 20.04 VM from 50gb to 200gb.
    But now I need grow the partition in ubuntu and my brain can't figure out which to grow:

    Code:
    root@web:/home# df -h
    Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    udev                               405M     0  405M   0% /dev
    tmpfs                               90M  1.3M   89M   2% /run

    On a Ubuntu Installation with LVM these are the usual steps i take:
    Code:
    1. Extend the disk in the hypervisor
    vgdisplay # checking the volume groups to double check
    growpart /dev/sda 1
    lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
    resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
    And may need to resize the PV

  3. @pyte It wasn't an issue how to resize it - but which one. As said, I resized sda4, as it was the largest (35gb) and fullest (94% usage) - and am hoping it was the right one. Otherwise my phone will ring again in a few minutes and I will have to harapukku in shame while my client shouts violence at me.

    Oh ok got it. Thats easy, just list all volume groups with "vgdisplay" and then list alls phiscal volumes with "pvdisplay". In the output of the last command you can see which disk(s) e.g. /dev/sda1 are assigned to which volume group.
     
  5. My phone did in fact not ring, it seems to have worked. :D
