My recent install of Ubuntu Server 18.04 appears to have created an LV mounted on / that is only 4GB. However the volume group is 160GB as expected.



But I get an insufficient disk space message when I try and expand the LV even though the group appears to have free space:



tom@git:~$ sudo pvs
 PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
 /dev/vda3 ubuntu-vg lvm2 a-- <159.00g <155.00g
tom@git:~$ sudo vgs
 VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
 ubuntu-vg 1 1 0 wz--n- <159.00g <155.00g
tom@git:~$ sudo lvs

tom@git:~$ sudo lvextend -L +10G /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
 /etc/lvm/archive/.lvm_git_20778_346817101: write error failed: No space left on device


Any ideas here? My root filesystem is at 100%, the new installer obviously doesn't make use of all disk space for the primary LV by default.

          LVM creates metadata backup on every change. It can't back up the data to /etc/lvm/archive as / is full. Either delete some files and try again, or use the -A n switch to not back up this change.



          Reference man lvm (emphasis mine):




          -A|--autobackup n



          Whether or not to metadata should be backed up automatically after a change. You are strongly advised not to disable this! See vgcfgbackup(8).

          • Thanks, using -A n has let me extend the LV. Life saver thanks!

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
