How to extend the size of a xfs?

  • 772

I have 119Gb in sda2, but centos_template--centos7-root is only 27.8Gb, how can I increase it?

[root@runner~]# lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT
NAME                              FSTYPE      LABEL  SIZE MOUNTPOINT
sda                                                  120G
├─sda1                            xfs                  1G /boot
└─sda2                            LVM2_member        119G
  ├─centos_template--centos7-root xfs               27.8G /
  └─centos_template--centos7-swap swap               3.2G [SWAP]

    To increase the size of your lv you have to first use lvextend command to increase the size of logical volume:

    lvextend -L NEW_Size /dev/vg-group-name/lv-name

    then you have to xfs_growfs to increase the size of an xfs filesystem:

    xfs_growfs -d /dev/vg-group-name/lv-name

  2. lvextend -L NEW_Size /dev/vg-group-name/lv-name

    then you have to xfs_growfs to increase the size of an xfs filesystem:

    xfs_growfs -d /dev/vg-group-name/lv-name

  3. Just imagine you want to extend 5G:

    #lvextend -L +5G /dev/mapper/vggroup_name-lv_name -r (intro)

    with the -r you can spare the command xfs_grow (-r will do its job). Do not forget the + simbol in the 5G ---> -L +5G
