LVM

Process to add lvm space in vmware

First need to create a new partition and then covert new partition in to lvm partition,After that add that partion in to volume group from volume group add that space to logical volume,Next know what type of ile system it is as xfs format or ext4 format.

 fdisk -l

The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at

[root@localhost ~]# vgextend centos /dev/sda3
[root@localhost ~]# df -kh (to know logical volume partion)
[root@localhost ~]# lvextend -L +30G /dev/mapper/centos-root
To check file system use below command
[root@localhost ~]# blkid
[root@localhost ~]# xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/centos-root

To make the partition for permanent even after reboot add partition details in to /etc/fstab.

To Extend ext4 file system follow below steps :

[root@localhost ~]# vgextend centos /dev/sda3
[root@localhost ~]# df -kh (to know logical volume partion)
[root@localhost ~]# lvextend -L +30G /dev/mapper/centos-root
TO check file system use below command
[root@localhost ~]# blkid
[root@localhost ~]# resize2fs /dev/mapper/centos-root
