CentOS 7 XFS disk resizing Rumi, June 4, 2021 Couldn’t find any article that explained step by step how to resize the main disks volume in a CentOS 7 vm. In my example I started witha single disk of 8GB and expanded to 20GB. I have two partitions on disk sda sda1 type Linux for boot sda2 type Linux LVM for the remaining logical volumes Space utilisation as following: [root@vcd-c1-s1 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.9G 8.8M 3.9G 1% /run tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mapper/centos-root 6.2G 1.9G 4.4G 31% / /dev/sda1 1014M 179M 836M 18% /boot tmpfs 783M 0 783M 0% /run/user/0 We basically need to: 1) Check and print the existing partitions fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): p 2) Delete the existing lvm partition (sda2) Command (m for help): d Partition number (1-4): 2 3) Create a new LVM partition including the extended new size Command (m for help): n Partition type: p primary (1 primary, 0 extended, 3 free) e extended Select (default p): p Partition number (2-4, default 2): 2 4) Set the new partition to be of type 8e (Linux LVM) Command (m for help): t Partition number (1,2, default 2): 2 Hex code (type L to list all codes): 8e Changed type of partition 'Linux' to 'Linux LVM' 5) Check again the changes before writing them to disk Command (m for help): p <REMOVED OUTPUT> Command (m for help): w 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 the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) Syncing disks. 6) Reboot the vm reboot 7) Resize the physical volume to match the size of the partition (sda2) pvresize /dev/sda2 Physical volume "/dev/sda2" changed 1 physical volume(s) resized / 0 physical volume(s) not resized 8) Resize the logical volume to use the new space available lvresize /dev/mapper/centos-root /dev/sda2 Size of logical volume centos/root changed from <6.20 GiB (1586 extents) to <18.20 GiB (4658 extents). Logical volume centos/root successfully resized 9) Finally, resize the file system. Using resize2fs I was getting the following error: resize2fs /dev/mapper/centos-root resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013) resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/centos-root Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. So after a bit of Googling found out I had to use xfs_growfs instead, as following: xfs_growfs /dev/centos/root meta-data=/dev/mapper/centos-root isize=512 agcount=4, agsize=406016 blks = sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1 = crc=1 finobt=0 spinodes=0 data = bsize=4096 blocks=1624064, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 blocks=2560, version=2 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 data blocks changed from 1624064 to 4769792 10) Finally check again the file system disk space df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.9G 8.8M 3.9G 1% /run tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mapper/centos-root 19G 1.9G 17G 11% / /dev/sda1 1014M 179M 836M 18% /boot tmpfs 783M 0 783M 0% /run/user/0 Src: https://blog.bertello.org/2019/12/resizing-centos-7-disk/ Related Administrations Configurations (Linux) CentOSCentOS 7LVMXFS
