Expanding XFS on LVM | Blivet-gui shows two identical volumegroups after vgmerge

Ask Fedora

Hello all,

my initial problem was a space problem in /. I have a windows ntfs-partition on the system disk (the physical drive) which I don’t use anymore. I shrunk the ntfs to gain some space and made the freed space volumegroup “plus”. Then I vgmerge(d) the existing VG fedora and the new VG plus. Then I added the free space of the former VG plus to logical drive / resulting in an increase in space according to the size of the free space. The system still works fine, but I still have a space problem in / and blivet-gui shows TWO identical VGs named fedora…Should I be worried?

Seen like that, my fses are pretty botched…:frowning:

Somehow the fstype didn’t parse… nvme01p3 is ntfs, the lvm fs are xfs and the additional disk is ext4 - for what it’s worth…

I see nothing wrong yet, also check this:

lsblk -p -f; df -h
