Increasing hard disk space on a Linux server within a Hyper-V enviroment.
Hello All,
I have a Windows 2008 Datacenter edition server which is running a Linux Centos Virtual machine on which I have cPanel installed.
I had originally set this to have 91GB of space... I am now looking to import some customers so I have added another 100GB of space.
I have gone into 'cfdisk' and created a Logical volume changinge its type to 'Linux LVM' it has been given the name 'sda5' which I
have also written the partion table to disk.
Now when I go to increase the LVM logical volume size using 'pvcreate /dev/sda5' I get the following error: Device /dev/sda5 not found (or ignored by filtering).
Can you advise what could be causing that please...
Many Thanks

Hello, Not a problem. I do have another query around this... .vB Please see attached my current file system (after adding more space and assigning it to /home). As mentioned above this is a Linux virtual machine where I have cPanel installed... I notice the root has 41G available can I take 30G of this and add it to my /home easily enough? If so what are the steps I need to take and the commands? As you may have guessed I am a windows user but keen to learn Linux. any help gratefully received. Many Thanks 0 -
The method to rearrange space between partitions depends on the specific Virtualization software you are using. I recommend consulting with their documentation or their support team to determine the best way to make this change. It's not an action that can be performed through cPanel. Thank you. 0
