Doesn't it need to know how to format and add the LV extention? That's an easy one. But an easy thing to miss, especially if you are new. df reports the free space on the /filesystem/ lvextend changes the size of the /block device/ Now that your block device is bigger, you need to extend the filesystem to use that new space. What filesystem are you using? Also, in the future, I believe EVMS can do this all with one command and there is a nice ncurses interface. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. bss03@volumehost.com ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
