Promox - How to extend LVM Partition VM Proxmox on the Fly
at previous tutorial, we've been extended lvm partition vm on promox with Live CD by using add new disk. But now, we can extend lvm partition on the fly without live cd or reboot the system, by resize lvm size only.
Requierement:
1. Use XFS as Filesystem at VM.
As far i know, only XFS filesystem can doing this method.
Configure
Resize Disk VM via qm cli
root@alpha:~# qm list
VMID NAME STATUS MEM(MB) BOOTDISK(GB) PID
201 alpha stopped 8196 32.00 0
root@alpha:~# qm resize 201 scsi0 +168G
Image resized.
