Thank you for your response.

In our scenario we're limited to a single PV on the LVM and while online does work it takes a long time for the pvmove to complete from say 2TB to a 3TB PV.

We're trying the offline in hopes that it would speed things up a lot.

Sorry, I still don't understand. If you have a single PV, what are you using pvmove for?

In my scenario, I use lvextend and then drbdadm resize.

Or do you mean you are adding additional physical devices with larger capacity, and then using pvmove to relocate to the new device, and then using lvextend to increase the size, and then drbdadm resize? and instead you are planning to drbdadm down <resource> and then fiddle with the underlying devices, and then drbdadm up ?

Is the problem that pvmove takes a long time to complete, or that it affects performance too much during the move? Just curious...

Regards,
Adam

    Out of interest, why do you need to use offline resize? I always
    have used the online resize with no issues (LVM underneath).
    Simply increase the LV (on both nodes) and then issue a "drbdadm
    resize <resource>" command.

    Not sure if that helps, or if you have a reason for using offline
    resize, maybe someone else can assist with that.

    PS, using 8.4.x versions.
