That's an easy one. But an easy thing to miss, especially if you are new. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
df reports the free space on the /filesystem/ |
| 19 |
lvextend changes the size of the /block device/ |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Now that your block device is bigger, you need to extend the filesystem to |
| 22 |
use that new space. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
What filesystem are you using? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Also, in the future, I believe EVMS can do this all with one command and |
| 27 |
there is a nice ncurses interface. |
