Hi,

I did some looking around, and the only references I can find regarding LVM and OpenAFS are over a year old, hence this e-mail. Basically, I've setup a /vicepa partition using LVM2 and ext2. Well, we're out of space and I'm wondering if anyone knows how well OpenAFS handles LVM?

I do not see any problem with that configuration. LVM is transparent to
the ext2-filesystem above it and AFS doesn't do any nasty things with
the filesystem anymore.

From what I can see, the thing to do would be to shutdown the bos server, extend the partition using lvm and ext2, and then just bring the server back up. Will OpenAFS correctly recognize the volume size changes and not freak out in any way?

Yes. Shutdown of all afs-related services is recommended


bos -shutdown -all
umount /vicepa
lvresize /dev/$vg/$lv +$numG
e2fsck -f /dev/$vg/$lv
resize2fs /dev/$vg/$lv
mount /vicepa
bos restart -all (or something like that)

Good Luck. In doubt, make a backup before.
