Montar LVM desde Live CD

ANTECEDENTES

Tenemos un disco duro con dos particiones:

/dev/sda1	/boot
/dev/sda5	extendida LVM

Hemos trasteado el LVM y no arranca. Para montar LVM desde una live-cd:

1. Arrancar desde la live-cd

2. Buscar el VG:

vgscan

3. Activar el VG:

vgchange -a y vg_encontrado_paso_2

4. Montar el LV en cuestión, en mi caso el raíz:

4.1 mkdir /mnt/auxiliar

4.2 mount /dev/mapper/vg_encontrado_paso_2-root /mnt/auxiliar

Reducir tamanyo LV

https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2006-August/msg00081.html

ANTECEDENTES

Tenemos un VG (Grupo de Volúmenes) con 3 LV (Volumen Lógico):

/
/home
/swap

Queremos achicar el LV /home para dejar espacio con el objeto de crear en ese espacio liberado un cuarto LV, donde montar /var

1. (Todo como root) obtenemos información del VG:

clear && lvdisplay

2. Desmontar la partición (por si las moscas, pero creo que desde el kernel 2.6 con sistemas de ficheros EXT3 NO es necesario). Es mejor si salimos del entorno gráfico:

umount /dev/mapper/volumen-home

3. Entrar en la consola de lvm y realizar unas operaciones:

3.1 lvm 3.2 Buscamos VG:

vgscan

3.3 Activamos el VG:

vgchange -a y VolGroup00

3.4 Generamos los ficheros de dispositivos ¿?:

vgmknodes

3.5 Salimos de la consola lvm:

exit

4. Achicar el sistema de ficheros

4.1 Comprobar el sistema de ficheros del LV:

e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/volumen-home

4.2 Redimensionar la partición ¿? (por ejemplo a 35 Gigas):

resize2fs /dev/mapper/volumen-home 35G

5. Achicar el LV:

5.1 Entrar en la consola lvm:

lvm

5.2 Reducir el LV (NOTA: según el tutorial la ruta es distinta, pero a mí tras avisarme que se podían perder datos me funcionó):

lvreduce -L36G /dev/volumen/home

O:

lvextend -L36G /dev/volumen/home

Creo que tanto da que da lo mismo

5.3 Salir de la consola:

exit

6. Expandir el sistema de ficheros al tamaño total del volumen.

resize2fs /dev/mapper/volumen-home

A mi me dijo que no se hacia nada

7. Aqui se puede volver a montar el sismte a de ficheros y ver los cambios. Más simple reiniciar

Reducir un LV y crear uno nuevo

Tenemos 80 Gb en home y queremos pasar 20 a una unidad de apoyo

1. Siempre es mejor desmontar

umount /dev/vg_manager2/lv_home

2. Achichar espacio en disco, en este caso el nuevo tamanyo sera 60G

resize2fs /dev/vg_manager2/lv_home 60G

3. Achicar Logical Volume:

lvreduce -L60G /dev/vg_manager2/lv_home

4. Crear el nuevo LV con todo el espacio libre:

lvcreate -n lv_iso -l 100%FREE vg_manager2

5. Formatear el nuevo LV

mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg_manager2/lv_iso

Ahora ya se pueden montar los 2 LV

Renombrar volumenes

Renombrar un Grupo de Volúmenes (VG)

1. Obtenemos el nombre del Grupo de Volúmenes

Disk /dev/hdd doesn't contain a valid partition table

1. Creamos partición LVM

Con fdisk creamos una partición en /dev/hdb1 y la creamos tipo LVM:

# fdisk /dev/hdd

Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4161.
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)

Añadir LV

TODAVÍA NO ESTÁ TERMINADO EL ARTÍCULO

b) Crear un LV con el espacio libre de un VG:

1. Obtener el espacio libre del VG en cuestión:

vgdisplay

...
Free PE / Size 3839 / 15 GB
...

2. Crear el LV de nombre 'var' con un tamaño de 15 gigas:

Opción 1:
lvcreate -n var--size 15G nombre_VG

Opción 2:

lvcreate -n var -l 3839 nombre_VG

4. Doy formato al nuevo volumen (sistema de ficheros EXT3)

mke2fs -j /dev/mapper/nombre_VG-var

5. Si es menester, lo meto en el /etc/fstab:

6. Arranca ok, pero no lo monta. Para ver el resultado:

lvdisplay

Aparece el nuevo volumen, con el valor '# open' a '0'

Crear VG

Antecedentes

La secuencia es:

1º crear un PV (Volumen Físico)

2º crear 1 VG (Grupo de Volúmenes) para ese PV

3º crear 1/+ LV (Volúmenes Lógicos) para ese VG

5. Crear un PV (Volumen Físico) en una partición:

pvcreate /dev/sda7

6. Crear un VG (Grupo de Volúmenes)

vgcreate vg /dev/sda7

7. Activarlo

vgchange -a y vg

Achicar LV swap

1. Desactivar todas la swap (se podría especificar la que usa el LV):

swapoff -a

2. Reducir 1 GB el tamaño del LV que usamos para swap

lvreduce /dev/vg/swap -L -1G

  WARNING: Reducing active logical volume to 4.00 GiB.
  THIS MAY DESTROY YOUR DATA (filesystem etc.)
Do you really want to reduce vg/swap? [y/n]

Pulsar 'y' y 'enter'

  Size of logical volume vg/swap changed from 5.00 GiB (1280 extents) to 4.00 GiB (1024 extents).
  Logical volume vg/swap successfully resized.

3. Formatear como swap el dispositivo del LV

mkswap /dev/vg/swap

Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 4 GiB (4294963200 bytes)
no label, UUID=1c3bd974-d6c4-46e4-9f64-bc2445f9e200

4. Montar swap (previsamente ya tiene su entrada en '/etc/fstab'):

swapon -va

swapon: /dev/mapper/vg-swap: found signature [pagesize=4096, signature=swap]
swapon: /dev/mapper/vg-swap: pagesize=4096, swapsize=4294967296, devsize=4294967296
swapon /dev/mapper/vg-swap

5. Comprobar

cat /proc/swaps

Quitamos 40Gbs a /home:

Se las añadimos a /var

lvextend -L +40G /dev/debian-vg/var

  Size of logical volume debian-vg/var changed from <7.73 GiB (1978 extents) to <47.73 GiB (12218 extents).

Hay que extender el FS:

resize2fs /dev/debian-vg/var

resize2fs 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)
Filesystem at /dev/debian-vg/var is mounted on /var; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 6
The filesystem on /dev/debian-vg/var is now 12511232 (4k) blocks long.

Ahora si que aparece:
