/ mountpoint increase in OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux)

/ mountpoint increase in OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux)


Below are the steps for increasing / mountpoint in OEL:

Step 1 :

Notedown the LV and VG details of / mountpoint. Here for root mountpoint we have mirror lvs LVDbSys1 and LVDbSys2. The size of LVDbSys1 is 30GB and suppose we are going to increase it by 6GB.

root@jk root]# lvs

LV                 VG      Attr       LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert

LVDbSwap1          VGJkDb -wi-ao----  24.00g

LVDbSys1           VGJkDb -wi-a-----  30.00g

LVDbSys2           VGJkDb -wi-ao----  30.00g

LVDoNotRemoveOrUse VGJkDb -wi-a-----   1.00g

[root@jk root]#

[root@jk root]# vgs

VG      #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize    VFree

VGJkDb   2   5   0 wz--n- <834.89g <549.89g


Step 2: Here the primary root disk LV is LVDbSys2, so will increase it first by using lvextend command.

[root@jk root]# lvextend -L +6G /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys2

Size of logical volume VGJkDb/LVDbSys2 changed from 30.00 GiB (7680 extents) to 36.00 GiB (9216 extents).

Logical volume VGJkDb/LVDbSys2 successfully resized.

[root@jk root]#

[root@jk root]# resize2fs /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys2

resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

Filesystem at /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys2 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required

old_desc_blocks = 2, new_desc_blocks = 3

The filesystem on /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys2 is now 9437184 blocks long.

[root@jk root]#

[root@jk root]# df -h /

Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys2   36G   24G  9.8G  71% /


Step 3 : Now increase mirror lv of root ie LVDbSys1:

[root@jk root]# lvextend -L +6G /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys1

Size of logical volume VGJkDb/LVDbSys1 changed from 30.00 GiB (7680 extents) to 36.00 GiB (9216 extents).

Logical volume VGJkDb/LVDbSys1 successfully resized.

[root@jk root]#

[root@jk root]# resize2fs /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys1

resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys1' first.


Step 4: While doing resize2fs on secondary root lv, the command is saying to run e2fsk on the secondary root lv.

[root@jk root]# e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys1

e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes

Pass 2: Checking directory structure

Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity

Pass 4: Checking reference counts

Pass 5: Checking group summary information

/dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys1: 111758/1966080 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 5772289/7864320 blocks

Step 5 : once it is successfull, run resize2fs command on LVDbSys1:

[root@jk root]# resize2fs /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys1

resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

Resizing the filesystem on /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys1 to 9437184 (4k) blocks.

The filesystem on /dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys1 is now 9437184 blocks long.


Step 6 : Now run lvs command, will see increase LV size for LVDbSys2 and LVDbSys1:

[root@jk root]# lvs

LV                 VG      Attr       LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert

LVDbSwap1          VGJkDb -wi-ao----  24.00g

LVDbSys1           VGJkDb -wi-a-----  36.00g

LVDbSys2           VGJkDb -wi-ao----  36.00g

LVDoNotRemoveOrUse VGJkDb -wi-a-----   1.00g


Step 7 : Note down the increase size of / mount point in df command:

[root@jk root]# df -h /

Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/VGJkDb-LVDbSys2   36G   24G  9.8G  71% /

[root@jk root]#
