Root Partition Full

[lmiltchev]

I recently installed a test Nagios XI system and also saw that the logical volumes had different names than my production system. In the newer Nagios Xi VM images, lv_root and lv_swap is used. It should be added in documentation to avoid problems for people using the newer version.

Right, I've seen this issue a number of times. The examples in our documentation are just examples though. Users need to adjust the commands, according to the actual LVM name they are using. I guess it is somewhat confusing for people not familiar with Linux.

Thanks to everyone, so to make sure that I'm thinking outside the Windows box where the documentation states:

# lvresize /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 /dev/sda2

I should enter:

# lvresize /dev/mapper/VolGrouplv_root-VolGrouplv_swap /dev/sda2

And then use the same for resize2fs?

You need to run:

Code: Select all

lvresize /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root /dev/sda2
resize2fs /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root

Well blow my dress up, it worked. Thanks.

Now I guess I'll install the new update. Are you guys working late tonight??

I suspect we may wish to leave this thread open until you report back the "all clear" . . .

Best 'o' Luck!
