Issue

  • Unable to resize existing physical volume (PV) using pvresize.
  • Physical volume size has not changed after executing pvresize.
# pvresize /dev/mapper/mpathh
  Physical volume "/dev/mapper/mpathh" changed
  1 physical volume(s) resized or updated / 0 physical volume(s) not resized

  PV                      VG           Fmt  Attr PSize    PFree   DevSize  PV UUID
