lvextend on a mirrored logical volume

[Erik Voelker_1]

I need to extend a mirrored logical volume /var, should I use the standard lvextend then extendfs commands for a mirrored lv?

You do not do anything differently when extending a mirrored LV versus extending a non-mirrored LV. The lvextend and the extendfs (or fsadm if you have on-line JFS) will do everything automatically.

You should be able to use the lvextend/extendfs commands to extend the LV. They will take care of extending the mirrors. Just make sure you have enough space on your disks to accomodate the change.

I assume you have enough space on the mirror disk. YOu can go ahead with the standard lvextend and extendfs procedure and the rest will be taken care automatically.

Hi
With enough disk space available on mirror disk, lvextend/extendfs should do the needful.
Thanks.
