Ubuntu 18.04 Space Issue

Curtis

So any idea how to expand it out? Does it only do this with LVM?

@DustinB3403 Correct. I thought that was best practice? Correct me if I am wrong please.

It was the better choice, all you have to do is extend it.

Yeah, trying to find some good instructions on that now.

So to test, I just went through a basic 18.04 install, setup LVM and my file system layout is completely different. It allocated the entire 100GB I setup to /dev/sda1.

You must've done something custom to get this.

Crap Did you do a netinstall? (I did)

Well, I just need to get it expanded for now.

No, not net install, minimal desktop.

Maybe netinstall is different?

Seems like I should just be able to extend LVM across the whole drive, but I can't find a way to do it...

@Curtis can you show me the output of ...

lvdisplay
vgdisplay

LVM is across the whole drive, that's not the issue.

Seems like / was only setup for 4GB... Why?

Probably to leave room for other things to be configured

@Curtis Run this...

lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

No, the volume Then the filesystem.

What kind of filesystem is it? EXT4? XFS?

Whatever the default for a netinstall is. Is there a command to check?

Tried as root, and got this:

/etc/lvm/archive/.lvm_server_2674_604287443: write error failed: No space left on device

The error tells you exactly why it's failing. Clean up some space, /var/log/ would be a good place to start. Then re-run that command.
