Anyone have luck expanding the root for Expedition?

I am trying to expand the root of expedition since 18g is not enough when you start loading up data into projects so it keeps yelling at me for space.

Tried following this http://www.geoffstratton.com/expand-hard-disk-ubuntu-lvm

But get error:

expedition@pan-expedition:~$ sudo pvcreate /dev/sda3

Device /dev/sda3 not found (or ignored by filtering).

expedition@pan-expedition:~$ pvcreate /dev/sda3

WARNING: Running as a non-root user. Functionality may be unavailable.

Ok I figured it out. There are a few things missing in most articles I have found for resizing root volumes.

You have to use pvresize to achieve this.

I will create an article on how to do this.

The recommendation is to add and mount a second disk to expand the traffic log storage.

Can you share the steps? I am running into the same issue.

Hi @Rutu.Modi

Let me share with you the steps to mount a second drive and move ML data to it. In the example I'm using a 4TB hard drive in /dev/sdb partition.

// get the disk name (i.e: sdb) fdisk -l // remove partition (i.e: sdb) fdisk /dev/sdb option: d option: w // create the partition (i.e: sdb) parted /dev/sdb (parted) mklabel gpt (parted) mkpart primary 0GB 4100GB (parted) quit // check the created partition name (i.e: sdb1) fdisk -l // Format the partition sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 // Create a folder to mount the partition mkdir /hdd // Mount the partition mount /dev/sdb1 /hdd // Make it permanent by adding it into the fstab sudo vi /etc/fstab /dev/sdb1 /hdd ext4 defaults 0 0 // Check it df -h // Now move /PALogs and /data to the created /hdd folder sudo mv /PALogs/ /hdd/ sudo mv /data/ /hdd/ //Update the grants sudo usermod -a -G www-data expedition sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /hdd/ // Create the symbolic links sudo ln -s /hdd/PALogs/ /PALogs sudo ln -s /hdd/data/ /data ls -la /

Hope this helps,
