I have a 75GB drive which I use for my shiny OpenSuse 10.2 install I have setup a Volume Group called system and within the volume group, I have two Logical Volumes, one for /home and the other / which use 25GB and 20GB respectively. I also have a 60MB ext3 partition which is used for /boot I am using swap partition which is on an other SATA drive. Which means I have approx 30GB of free space. I want to extend the /home partition to the maximum of the free space but the YaST LVM manager doesn't allow me to do so. I have done the following to try to achieve this: logged-in as root in single user mode un-mounted the /home partition Started up YaST and LVM manager Edited the home Logical Volume Set the size to the max available Size (54.4GB) and click OK Hit the Apply button which gives me the error: "Failure occurred during the following actions: Extending logical volume /dev/system/home to 54.4GB system error code was: 4016 lvextend -l + 7527 /dev/system/home: insufficient free space: 13927 extends needed, but only 7541 available." I understand what extends are and that there is no available extends. But how does it allow me to extend it showing there is enough room to do so and not be able to extend it ? Any suggestions or anyone know what I am doing wrong ? cheers, Jeffery -- Powered by openSUSE 10.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.18.2-34-default KDE: 3.5.5 "release 45" 5:31pm up 0:18, 4 users, load average: 1.18, 1.04, 0.65
