[libvirt-users] Resizing lvm fails with fedora20
Hi, I'm trying to resize a 15GB LVM root partition on a fedora20 server with a fedora20 guest and I'm having a problem. Is this supported on fedora20? I recall having a similar problem (maybe even exact same problem) all the way back in fedora16 or fedora17, but hoped/thought it would be fixed by now? # virt-df -h test1-011015.img Filesystem Size Used Available Use% test1-011015.img:/dev/prop/boot 476M 109M 338M 23% test1-011015.img:/dev/prop/root 14G 10G 3.3G 72% # truncate -s 50G newimg # virt-resize test1-011015.img newimg --expand /dev/sda1 --LV-expand /dev/prop/root Examining test1-011015.img ... virt-resize: libguestfs error: lvm_set_filter: vgchange -ay: /run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad: No such file or directory.

I thought this has been already fixed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1016218

I guess updating lvm2. Seems like you won't be able to use pure vgchange and do thing by hand anyway. Michal

It looks like that only applies to RHEL6? Can you track down whether there was a fedora20 update for this?

Do you know where there is a HOWTO of some sort to do it using lvm from within the virtual machine? Is that even possible? Thanks, Alex
