Several ways: lsdasd -> If it doesn't show up at all it's not being used df -> Same > Assuming I can determine the second disk is unused I should be able to > extend the LVM to it and my problem would be solved. Right? Since you're using LVM, then another way to check if the volume is being used by LVM is the "pvs" or "pvdisplay" commands. If the volume doesn't show up there, it is not being used by LVM. Now, if you're going to add another disk to the configuration, make sure you - Use either YaST or dasd_configure to bring the disk online and have it be persistent across a reboot. - Re-run mkinitrd and zipl afterward because early on in SLES12 there was a bug that would cause new disks to not be activated properly on reboot.
