Volume manager can not use added space

[Arcesilaus]

Thanks for your incredibly quick reply!

I will reboot one more time tomorrow - I had just started a full array check on the controller and I prefer to wait for that to be finished first.
I'll keep you informed!

Time for an update!

This is what I've tried:

- Full raid array check
- Extra reboot
- Cold start

But still: no luck.

What eventually did the trick? Rerunning the PV resize command and an extra reboot!
Although I would be curious to know why it was necessary, I'm happy that it works.

Thanks for the update!

Very rarely it happens but I have seen this with the Areca and you should only have to do this once or if it is still building or migrating it can be that as well.

After addeing six 1TB disk to a raid 5, with ten 1 TB disk from before, I am unable to expand logical volume to utilize the new free space.

I've run PV resize and rebooted several times, but I'm only allowed to create a new logical volume using the free space, not able to add the free space to the existing logical volume

Is the RAID migration of the new disks completed from the RAID controller? If it is verify the RAID health from the controller.
