I am having a problem with lvm. I have it set up and working, to a point. The problem I'm having is that when I try to add more space to a volume, it doesn't show up. As an example, my /usr partition is 5.0 gig. Using yast2, system,lvm, I change this to be 6.0 gig. I hit the apply button (this is as root), and it says all changes were successful and ready to use. However, using the 'df' command, it says /usr is still 5.0 gig. Even after a reboot, 'df' says 5.0 gig, and the lvm config in yast2 says its 6.0 gig.
df says the formatted file system is 5.0 gig, and yast2 says the constituent partitions are 6.0 gig. What you did in yast2 was to add another physical partition to the logical volume. This doesn't mean that the filesystem changes size. If /usr is reiserfs try running /sbin/resize_reiserfs regards Anders
