extender /stand

#extendfs /dev/vg00/rlvol1
crear /swap
#lvcreate -C y -r n -L 50 -n lvol2 /dev/vg00
#lvcreate -L "B-(X+10)" -C y -r n -n lvol2 /dev/vg00

Hi Jairo,

This is very very risky, why not use a ignite tape ?

Doesnt look too bad. My only concern is once you recreate swap its now too big to fit into its old place (because you extended lvol1) so it will be created after all the other lvols (further down the disk past the first 2Gb), whereas if I recall correctly primary swap needs to be within the first 2Gb on a disk. So, what I would try is when you go to recreate swap (lvol2) make it smaller, ie. if you increased stand by 100MB reduce primary swap by 100MB, then create a secondary swap area (lvol9 typically) and set it to 100MB to make up the shortfall so you get back, overall, to your same swap size and primary swap is stil back where it was.

Robert Jan , one assumes that before this I do I have fact

[Jairo Campana]

OK execute my procedure ....is correct.

thanks

Rossi I am going to prove you procedure in attach.

[KapilRaj]

Procedure is correct ....

Only thing to be taken care is to create a secondary swap space on the system to compensate the space u have used to extend stand !.

I saw some where in the posts that SWAP needs to be there in the first 2 GB .... As per my knowledge BOOT,SWAP and ROOT (lvol1 or stand, lvol2 or stand and lvol3 or root) volumes should be contegious...

All the best !

I suggest another procedure I executed some time ago.

I should create a new lvol an mount as /stand/build.

Jairo,

actually this looks fine to me with the exception that you say you have a mirored boot disk

So the one duplicate line you list:
#lvcreate -C y -r n -L 50 -n lvol2 /dev/vg00
#lvcreate -L "B-(X+10)" -C y -r n -n lvol2 /dev/vg00

you should use
lvcreate -L "B-(X+10)" -m 1 -C y -r n -n lvol2 /dev/vg00

Then you mirror should also be fine.

Bernhare :very good observation , I eliminate the line

lvcreate -C y -r n -L 50 -n lvol2 /dev/vg00
