Re: howto extendlvm



i have done the following and it w0rks

Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sdc
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or

Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 10240.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Can you point out the safe way to do it?
Am thinking to do the following steps on my RHEL5.1
vgs
pvcreate /dev/lun2
vgextend vg01 /dev/lun2
lvextend -L +1G /dev/vg01/lv01
resize2fs /mount/point/of/lv01

Thanks
