Menambah Ukuran Partisi LVM2

Karena Kebutuhan Re-develop system baru, suatu storage dengan fisik Compact Flash harus diupgrade. Penggunaan storage Compact Flash yang sebelumnya hanya 4GB diupgrade menjadi 8 GB. Alhasil ada free available 4GB yang ada pada storage. Karena sistem menggunakan modeling partisi LVM2 (metode untuk mengelola volume ruang simpan). sehingga data - data yang ada tidak akan terganggu ketika akan ditambahkan ukurannya.

karena pada perinsipnya lvm adalah logical volume manager, kita harus sangat hati - hati dalam menggunakan perintahnya.

pengecekan storage CF

root@itech mnt # fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 8000 MB, 8000110592 bytes
247 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1020 cylinders, total 15625216 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 identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *          49      977549      488750+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb2          977550     7813119     3417785   8e  Linux LVM

Gunakan tools cfdisk untuk membuat partisi baru

root@itech mnt # cfdisk /dev/sdb
Disk has been changed.

cek kembali partisi

root@itech mnt # fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 8000 MB, 8000110592 bytes
247 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1020 cylinders, total 15625216 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 identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *          49      977549      488750+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb2          977550     7813119     3417785   8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sdb3         7813120    15625215     3906048   8e  Linux LVM

selanjutnya buat volume group Aino pada partisi /dev/sdb3

root@itech mnt # pvcreate Aino /dev/sdb3
  Device Aino not found (or ignored by filtering).
  WARNING: Volume group Aino is not consistent
  Can't initialize physical volume "/dev/sdb3" of volume group "Aino" without -ff

Untuk mengatasi masalah diatas, gunakan opsi -ff artinya secara paksa akan kita buat partisi /dev/sdb3 pada volume group Aino.

root@itech mnt # pvcreate Aino /dev/sdb3 -ff
  Device Aino not found (or ignored by filtering).
  WARNING: Volume group Aino is not consistent
Really INITIALIZE physical volume "/dev/sdb3" of volume group "Aino" [y/n]? y
  WARNING: Forcing physical volume creation on /dev/sdb3 of volume group "Aino"
  Physical volume "/dev/sdb3" successfully created

scan kembali volume group dan aktifkan

root@itech mnt # vgscan          
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
  Found volume group "Aino" using metadata type lvm2
root@itech mnt # vgchange -ay
  3 logical volume(s) in volume group "Aino" now active

sebelum diaktifkan ke volume group

root@itech mnt # pvdisplay 
  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sdb2
  VG Name               Aino

  Allocatable           yes 
  PE Size               4.00 MiB
  Total PE              834

  PV UUID               R9HyKO-HEWh-1jMY-TIjf-iSkF-O1Dw-WFsODN
   
   
  "/dev/sdb3" is a new physical volume of "3.73 GiB"
  --- NEW Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sdb3
  VG Name

  PV UUID               QBscid-ZwsO-0wUn-5jS6-FOX4-rqtr-UWLHMg

Selanjutnya besarkan ukuran volume group dengan menambahkan dari /dev/sdb3 yang sudah masuk pada volume group Aino

root@itech mnt # vgextend /dev/Aino /dev/sdb3
  Volume group "Aino" successfully extended

note: jika ingin melepas /dev/sdb3 dari penggunaan aktif volume group Aino

root@itech mnt # vgreduce /dev/Aino /dev/sdb3
  Removed "/dev/sdb3" from volume group "Aino"

Setelah diaktifkan ke volume group Aino

root@itech mnt # pvdisplay 
  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sdb2
  VG Name               Aino

Sebelum melanjutkan memperbesar /dev/Aino/data , cek terlebih dahulu tipe penggunaan alokasi , jika menggunakan contiguous allocation , terlebih dahulu ubah ke inherit. Karena tipe contiguous tidak dapat menangani perubahan untuk penambahan ukuran.
Jika tetap memaksa, maka berikut error yang didapat:

root@itech mnt # lvresize -L 5G /dev/Aino/data
  Extending logical volume root to 5.00 GiB
  Insufficient suitable contiguous allocatable extents for logical volume root: 730 more required

root@itech mnt # lvchange --alloc inherit Aino
  Logical volume "data" changed
  Logical volume "cf-rw1" changed
  Logical volume "cf-rw2" changed

lanjutkan menambahkan ukuran

root@itech mnt # lvresize -L 5G /dev/Aino/data 
  Extending logical volume root to 5.00 GiB
  Logical volume root successfully resized


root@itech mnt # resize2fs -p /dev/Aino/data

Dengan begitu penambahan sudah selesai
