extend the size of a LVM2 volume group over the remaining free space available on a physical volume. My linux box is a Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 64bit, the 60GB hard disk has 2 win partition for about 19GB, a 1.5GB ext3 boot partition and finally a 36GB LVM partition (/dev/sda4) on which I created a volume group (volgrp) smaller 10GB than the 36GB physical volume (/dev/sda4). What I want now is to extend the size of volume group up to the end of physical volume. I tried to use the "vgextend volgrp /dev/sda4" but system answers me
with following output:
me@pc:~> sudo vgextend volgrp /dev/sda4
Physical volume '/dev/sda4' is already in volume group 'volgrp'
Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda4' to volume group 'volgrp'.
Here the output of fdisk command:
me@pc:~> sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders

I've added a second drive to a system and I need to extend the lvm and the filesystem to the second disk. Is there a way to do this online with centos 5.5? I specifically need extending the actual ext3 filesystem which seems to be the trick part.

I'm trying to use xrandr to extend the desktop on my laptop to my lcd monitor. I have tried a few different ways but no matter what I do the desktop will end up on my LCD and the laptop is the extended desktop. Anyone know where I am going wrong? Here is the command I've been using:
xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --auto --left-of LVDS

What I need is a program that will extend a X-windows display over a network, similar to nvidia's TwinView (which I am already using on the main machine for its 2 current monitors).However, I cannot use Xdmx (as suggested by all the threads I found), as I would like it not to require me to manually start the x server and viewer, and have all the machines must be running a *nix OS, which won't work for me, as the secondary machine is running windows.I would also like it to hopefully use VNC to share the desktop, as I would be connecting to it from a windows machine over ethernet.By "extend" I mean one that would, say, for example, add another X display with a given resolution and position and serve that over VNC. I have yet to find any programs that will do this.

it shows 10GB
4. How I can make Linux see the 30gb at /home/user?

I have a 100GB HD with FC13 installed, default layout with options suggested during installation. I recently purchased a SSD 120GB and move the data the old HD from it with dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M. Since the SSD is 120 Gb, so I should have 20GB space not utilized.
After the moving,
# fdisk /dev/sda1
Disk /dev/sda: 128.0 GB, 128035676160 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 15566 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I know there are probably alot of threads about lvm however they aren't addressing my problem. I want to extend the PEs available in a VG. This VG already has LVs and those are active and mounted. From what I read from the manpages of pvresize this should be perfectly possible.
Code:
pvresize resizes PhysicalVolume which may already be in a volume group and have active logical volumes allocated on it.
I did the following steps and wonder if anyone has the same issue. THe machine where I am talking about is an ESX VM.
1. Resized the vmdk in ESX (+1G)
2. Let the kernel reread the device geometry: echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/rescan
3. fdisk shows me the new size... so far so good
4. I resize the partition using fdisk (remove, recreate) and gave it the 8e type (lvm)
5. wrote config to disk
6. executed partprobe
7. pvresize /dev/sdc
Here it goes wrong! Pvresize says in the verbose output it sees the same size however at the end it says the pv has been resized. I have seen when I put volumes "offline" using vgchange -a n vg on a test machine, and then try pvresize it seems to work ok. This is against what is in the manual as it says pvresize should work on online mounted volumes.

a client brought in an 160GB external HDD and wanted to get the files off it, there appeared to be no partitions on the disk but i thought it may have been formatted to use the whole disk. I tried to mount it as the various FS types the client thought it may have been to no avail.
I ran testdisk on it which told me that it previously had a mac partition table and a 210GB partition on it (which is larger than the disk) could anyone enlighten me as to whether or not this is even possible, and if so how could i retrieve the data?

Ubuntu 10.04, xsane 0.996, Brother MFC 240c scanner.I just finished writing a long dissertation on my problem with this scanning environment (which I will spare you). In a nutshell the resulting image, when printed, is smaller than the original document. In writing my dissertation for this post I determined that the cause of the issue is that xsane believes I am scanning an 8.5 x 14 inch document when I am in fact scanning an 8.5 x 11 letter. So the question is... can I change the size to 8.5 x 11? and if so, how? I have not found anything in the xsane Preferences.

Currently, I am at 99% capacity with a 1TB hard drive (sda). I want to add an extra 2TB storage (sdc) by extending the current volume group using LVM.
[URL]
I can see that it is extended from the LVM GUI (System - Admin - LVM). However, when I download anything, the system says I am still at 99% capacity.
Code:
[root@localhost /]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000203804160 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders

I have a question regarding extending file system. We are using RedHat 4 with update 8.Is it possible to extend an file system with GFS file system type while at the same time the same file system that need to be extended is used as an NFS file system? Is it necessary to stop the nfs daemon before extending the GFS file system? If it is necessary to stop nfs daemon, what can happen if it is not stopped prior extending?

I have my harddisk partitioned with fdisk. It has seven partitions. I have some important data in my /home partition. The /home partition is almost full. I want to extend the size of /home. Mind you I'm not using LVM. Can I use LVM now and add another harddisk to extend the /home partition. Will I lose my data. Or do I have to re-install linux?

today I upgraded via official testing repository Gnome to version 3.18. After this, icons on desktop and nautilus are bigger, than before. Next thing, gaps between icons are smaller than before. I tried change theme to default (Adwaita), then run gtk-update-icon-cache, but without result.
Normal view - icons are big for this view. URL....
Small view - icons are still big for this view. URL...
How can I change icons size and gaps size? Or is it bug for this version?
