How to add space to /dev/mapper/root_vg-rootdir
Hello all. I had one of my programmers ask me to increase the space on the "/" directory. Coming from a windows background I didn't think this would be difficult but I have not had a good time with this. I've been able to increase the size within fdisk to include the space I added via VMware after some time. But now im getting stuck on how to add that space to the filesystem that "/" is listed under, in this case /dev/mapper/root_vg-rootdir.
When running fdisk -l i can see that ive successfully added the new space to /dev/sda5. You can see that here:
[root@slplaygroundt1 ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 53.7 GB, 53687091200 bytes, 104857600 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk label type: dos Disk identifier: 0x00063516 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 2099199 1048576 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2099200 12591103 5245952 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda3 12591104 16793599 2101248 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda4 16793600 104857599 44032000 5 Extended /dev/sda5 16795648 104857599 44030976 83 Linux Disk /dev/mapper/root_vg-rootdir: 18.2 GB, 18241028096 bytes, 35627008 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk /dev/mapper/swap_vg-swap: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes, 4194304 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk /dev/mapper/home_vg-home: 5368 MB, 5368709120 bytes, 10485760 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
And then you can see the files system im trying to add it to here:
[root@slplaygroundt1 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/root_vg-rootdir 17G 2.0G 16G 12% / devtmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 7.8G 234M 7.6G 3% /run tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda1 1014M 180M 835M 18% /boot /dev/mapper/home_vg-home 5.0G 33M 5.0G 1% /home tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /run/user/1648050250
Ive been pouring over documents, red hat related and not but iv gotten sorta stuck. Anyone have a clue or a pointer in the right direction?
