Can you provide us the output if df -h and lvscan ?

You can also open a support ticket here https://softaculous.com/support  and provide us your server details, so that we can guide you accordingly.




df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1      9.8G  1.2G  8.2G  13% /
tmpfs          915M    0  915M  0% /dev/shm

lvscan shows me blank. nothing.

do you still need to access the server? i can give you login information.
Thanks.]]> Wed, 16 Nov 2016 16:56:09 GMT https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=9789&tpg=1#p33365 <![CDATA[OVH public cloud adding additional disk.]]> https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=9789&tpg=1#p33363

Hello
OVH offers addtional disk order on each servers.
but it's going to be separate to /dev/vdb, when the main is /dev/vda.
is there anyway to merge vdb to vda so i can use all at /vz?
or is there anyway to bring /vdb available space space in virtualizor?
looking forward to hear some great news since Virtualizor don't support below 1GB vps creation.
thanks alot.


Hi,

If you dont have any VPSs on your server then you can follow these steps to utilize all the free space available in one or more disks on your server for creating VPSs :
You will first need to move your contents (mainly templates) from /vz/ directory to a temporary location (other than /vz).
You will need to create a Volume Group consisting of /dev/vda and /dev/vdb, so now your VG will have the entire free disk space available on your server.
Now you can create LV from that VG utilizing all the space from the VG as shown in the guide below :

https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Cluster_Logical_Volume_Manager/LV_create.html

After the LV is created you can mount it on "/vz" and then move the /vz contents back.


thank you very much,

when I try go vgcreate i get the errors like below
----------------------------------------------------------
sudo vgcreate cent /dev/vda1 /dev/vdb1
  Can't open /dev/vda1 exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?
  Unable to add physical volume '/dev/vda1' to volume group 'cent'

here is my fdisk

sudo fdisk -l

---------------------------------------------------------------
(as you see i did some test on vdb1, it can remove and re-partition)

i can always re-install vps, i don't need to back up system.
please guide me make the 2 disks (in this example, 10gb+10gb to make 20gb available in virtualizor on OVH servers)
it is a sandbox server, not doing virtualizor on 10 gb. i just want to see if this is possible so i can move on to the project.

Thank you so much.]]> Tue, 15 Nov 2016 18:28:04 GMT https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=9789&tpg=1#p33355 <![CDATA[OVH public cloud adding additional disk.]]> https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=9789&tpg=1#p33351
