Expand OVF disk

andrekruger · November 2023

Hi everyone

i need some help expanding the disk on this appliance - i tried following the guide on the forum

(https://forum.xorux.com/discussion/60/need-to-expand-ovf-disk) but i am clearly doing something wrong (not good with linux, lol)

you are on newer appliance based on Rocky Linux, there is different path to the LV, does that help?

/dev/rl/root

# resize logical volume to fill all unused space

lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/centos/root

# resize XFS filesystem on /dev/centos/root

xfs_growfs /dev/centos/root

--> use /dev/rl/root on new images based on Rocky Linux

lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/rl/root

xfs_growfs /dev/rl/root

hi Pavel, pardon my ignorance, but i am not sure what to do here, am i missing something here

it is hard to troubleshoot something when I cannot see any error or anything what is done and where it finished with what error ...

as per a screenshot you sent (with single cmd) looks like there is no any free extents, so you did not extend volume group.

I got no idea what did not work for you, where you finished, error(s) ... no way to help you with information you have provided so far
