KVM disk expansion

Extend the KVM disk image. This time, we will expand the disk on a machine using LVM. Expand to 20GB from + 10GB to 10GB.

1. Prior confirmation

The virtual machine disk looks like this.

# df -h
File system size used Remaining used%Mount position
/dev/mapper/centos-root   8.5G  6.5G  2.1G   76% /
devtmpfs                  485M     0  485M    0% /dev
tmpfs                     496M     0  496M    0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                     496M  7.1M  489M    2% /run
tmpfs                     496M     0  496M    0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/vdb                  2.6T  1.6T 1016G   62% /storage
/dev/vda1                 497M  217M  280M   44% /boot
tmpfs                     100M     0  100M    0% /run/user/1000

2. Disk image extension

First, extend the disk image file on the virtual host. Make a backup of the image.

# cp -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/water1.img{,.bak}

Confirmation of current image

# qemu-img info water01.img
image: water01.img
file format: raw
virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 10G

Add 10GB to a 10GB image

# qemu-img resize water01.img +10G
Image resized.

3. Disk image extension

Start the machine here and operate on the virtual machine thereafter. Edit disk with fdisk

# fdisk /dev/vda

command(Help with m): p  #Confirmation (confirm that it is a sector unit at the same time)

command(Help with m): w  #Save disk changes

Reboot the machine and extend PV

# pvresize /dev/vda2
  Physical volume "/dev/vda2" changed
  1 physical volume(s) resized / 0 physical volume(s) not resized

Confirm that PV has been expanded

# pvscan
  PV /dev/vda2   VG centos          lvm2 [<19.51 GiB / 10.00 GiB free]
  Total: 1 [<19.51 GiB] / in use: 1 [<19.51 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]

Expanded LV by expanded PV

# lvresize -L +10G /dev/centos/root
  Size of logical volume centos/root changed from <8.51 GiB (2178 extents) to <18.51 GiB (4738 extents).
  Logical volume centos/root successfully resized.

Expand the file system by the expanded LV

Verification. It can be confirmed that it has been expanded.
