How can we extend/resize the LVM partition online which has snapshot enabled?
Issue
- Extend snapshot enabled filesystem.
- One of the server having snapshot enabled volumes, we want to increase the snapshot enabled filesystem
/data
. - We would like to know the procedure to increase snapshot enabled filesystem, also want to know how much space to consider for snapshot.
- When trying to extend the logical volume (LV) I see the error:
# lvextend -L +20G /dev/test_vg/test_lv
Snapshot origin volumes can be resized only while inactive: try lvchange -an.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
