Proxmox - Increase VM Disk Size


Add new disk in Proxmox VE UI
Partition the new disk
Create a new physical device (using pvcreate)
Extend the existing volume group
Extend the logical volume
Extend the file system (ext4 in my case)
Check current storage
First lets check how much space left on the VM:

root@jupyterhub:~# df -h
Filesystem                       Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                             2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev
tmpfs                            396M   11M  385M   3% /run
/dev/mapper/ubuntu1604--vg-root   18G   15G  1.8G  90% /
tmpfs                            2.0G  4.0K  2.0G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs                            2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/ubuntu1604--vg-home   20G   44M   19G   1% /home/jupyter
/dev/mapper/ubuntu1604--vg-log   465M  112M  325M  26% /var/log
/dev/sda1                        472M  155M  293M  35% /boot
tmpfs                            396M     0  396M   0% /run/user/2160
Now lets see all the available disks on the system after adding a new disk through Promox VE User Interface:

Partitioning the new disk
As you can see the 64 GiB disk is present without any partitioning. Lets go ahead and partition that disk:

root@testvm:~# fdisk /dev/sdb

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.27.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x193c65a1.

Command (m for help): n
Partition type
   p   primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)
   e   extended (container for logical partitions)
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-134217727, default 2048):
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-134217727, default 134217727):

Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 64 GiB.

Command (m for help): p

The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.
Now let’s create a new physical device with the newly partitioned disk using pvcreate and view it using pvdisplay:

root@testvm:~# pvcreate /dev/sdb1
  Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created

root@jupyterhub:~# pvdisplay
  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sda5
  VG Name               ubuntu1604-vg
  PV Size               9.52 GiB / not usable 2.00 MiB
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size               4.00 MiB
  Total PE              2437
  Free PE               0

  PV UUID               qNCelA-nJDf-NX7Q-ZkK4-iR4M-vQho-mfFqA1

  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sdc1
  VG Name               ubuntu1604-vg

  "/dev/sdb1" is a new physical volume of "64.00 GiB"
  --- NEW Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sdb1

Check current volume group
Thereafter, let’s go ahead and check the current volume groups using vgdisplay:

root@testvm:~# vgdisplay
  --- Volume group ---
  VG Name               ubuntu1604-vg
  System ID
  Format                lvm2

  Metadata Sequence No  12
  VG Access             read/write
  VG Status             resizable
  MAX LV                0

  Open LV               4

  VG UUID               BR84gF-JBKN-ndcp-At3G-l9UB-4CAs-KVyyta
Extend current volume group
Now we can extend it using vgextend and verify it using vgdisplay:

root@testvm:~# vgextend ubuntu1604-vg /dev/sdb1
  Volume group "ubuntu1604-vg" successfully extended

root@testvm:~# vgdisplay
  --- Volume group ---
  VG Name               ubuntu1604-vg

  VG Status             resizable
  MAX LV                0
  Cur LV                4
  Open LV               4
  Max PV                0
  Cur PV                3
  Act PV                3
  VG Size               105.51 GiB
  PE Size               4.00 MiB
  Total PE              27011
  Alloc PE / Size       9966 / 38.93 GiB
  Free  PE / Size       17045 / 66.58 GiB
  VG UUID               BR84gF-JBKN-ndcp-At3G-l9UB-4CAs-KVyyta
Thereafter, lets go ahead and check the logical volumes using lvdisplay:

root@testvm:~# lvdisplay

Extend the root volume
Lets extend the root volume by 10 GiB using lvextend:

root@testvm:~# lvextend --resizefs -L+10G /dev/ubuntu1604-vg/root
  Size of logical volume ubuntu1604-vg/root changed from 22.52 GiB (5766 extents) to 32.52 GiB (8326 extents).
  Logical volume root successfully resized.
resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
Filesystem at /dev/mapper/ubuntu1604--vg-root is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 2, new_desc_blocks = 3
The filesystem on /dev/mapper/ubuntu1604--vg-root is now 8525824 (4k) blocks long.
Allocate entire disk space to the volume
In case we want the entire disk space to extended you can simply assign 100% of the free space.

root@testvm:~# lvextend --resizefs -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu1604-vg/root
