LVM Extension
HardRHCSA Prep20-30 minThe brief
The web content on /srv/www lives on the logical volume vgweb/content and is about to run out of room. The volume group still has plenty of free space, so no new disk is needed. Extend the logical volume to at least 200 MiB and grow its ext4 filesystem to match — online, without unmounting and without losing the existing files. Grading checks the logical volume size, the mounted filesystem size, and that the original content survived.
What you'll do
- Confirm the volume group has free extents to grow into
- Extend the logical volume vgweb/content to at least 200 MiB
- Grow the ext4 filesystem online so the space is usable, without losing data
Hands-on lab: you work on a real Linux box in your browser, graded on the machine's actual state.
