Ok, assuming you're not interested in the information within OldData volume-group that resides on sdb you can: 1) pvcreate -f /dev/sdb (we're using -f because otherwise it would complain that there's existing LVM data...) 2) vgextend F31 /dev/sdb 3) lvextend -r -L+10G /dev/mapper/F31-F31Var ...assuming you'll want 10GB more. Change it accordingly. You could also use lvextend -r -l+100%FREE /dev/mapper/F31-F31Var to give it all free remaining space in the volume group if that's what you want. And now your main F31 volume-group would use the space in /dev/sdb for any extents needed in the F31 volume-group (not necessarily that of /var). If you had plenty of space in the F31 volume-group (vgs would show you that) and if you wanted to use space from /dev/sdb *exclusively* for the logical volume hosting /var ..that's another story. I don't know the facts right now but, in general, that's not how you operate LVM. You generally throw disks at the volume-group and you just let it handle the rest. At least for the regular desktop usage... HTH, Jorge p.d. you could create a partition in /dev/sdb and flag it as LVM so you'll end up with /dev/sdb1 but since you already were using the whole device, that's what I used. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
