drabcuken: lvm?00:02
cukendrab: I have a 10tb lvm setup as data independant of the root and home partition, both of those are ext400:05
drabcuken: ok, then you should be able to do it, altho I can't stress enough that if you care about your data you shouldn't00:16
drabcuken: from a logical perspective you'd resize the data VG,eventually getting a bunch of free space00:16
drabyou'd then add back that space as a new PV that's available to the system and add that to the root VG and then expand the filesystem00:17
drabof course the devil is in the details and if you have not done this before, at the very least, I'd find an old pc or a VM to practice on00:18
draband then write down the steps and only then run them on the actualy server00:18
drabalso it goes withuot saying that you should have backups fo everything you care about before doing something like this (or anything really, but especially when fiddling with the FS)00:19
draband in fact, the above isn't quite correct, if it's all the same VG already no PV in involved00:23
drabif it's all the same VG from whatever PVs you just shrink the data LV, resize the FS, lvextend the root LV with the new free space and resize (grow) the root LV00:24
drabext4 supports online resizing so this should work00:24
axisysdo we need all these options or just -r and -o will work on modern systems like hp dl36002:50

roelof_hello, I installed Ubuntu Server 17.04 . After rebooting I installed postfix and mailx. Then I send a test mail. but no mail arrived. So I went to /var/log and I also do not see the mail,log19:16
roelof_How can I take care that things are working again19:16
jancoowhi.19:28
jancoowCould someone help me make owncloud working behind an apache reverse proxy19:28
jancoowEverythign is working exept the webdav19:28
roelof_Wierd, when I do systemctl status postfix I see running(exited)19:29
roelof_anyone who can help me ?19:29
ikoniaroelof_: what does the logs say19:32
ikoniawhat is the actual status of postfix19:32
roelof_at this point running(excited)19:33
ikoniano, thats not a status19:33
ikoniathats a systemd status19:33
ikoniawhat's the actual status19:33
roelof_oke, got postifix working19:34
roelof_but still no mail.log19:34
roelof_ikonia:  ^^19:34
ikoniaso postfix is running, correct ?19:35
roelof_yep. I could send a mail and recieved it back19:35
ikoniabut the systemd status shows it as running exited19:35
ikoniacorrect?19:35
roelof_yep19:36
ikoniaare you sure it's actually staying up and not just running, exiting, running, exiting,19:36
ikoniaas thats normally what that status suggests19:36
ikonia(not always though)19:36
roelof_that could be , in the lines after that I see stoppng and starting postfix19:37
roelof_so that problem is solved19:37
ikoniaso I would guess that's what's going on here19:37
roelof_Still I have a problem that no mail.log is generated19:38
ikoniathat is not a great situation to be in19:38
ikoniaroelof_: I'd be more worried why postfix is stopping/starting all the time19:38
ikoniarather than the mail log at this stage19:38
roelof_ikonia:  apperently postfix is only running when a mail is send and closes then19:39
roelof_I can live with tht19:39
roelof_that19:39
ikoniaroelof_: that means you won't get mail deliveyr19:39
ikoniadelivery19:39
roelof_I get mail delivery , I checked that19:40
ikoniaI doubt that19:40
ikoniaif it only spawns when you send mail - how will you get mail19:40
roelof_I do not know,  I send a mail to postmaster and get it back so I could read it19:42
roelof_that is enough for me19:42
ikoniaroelof_: you don't understand your mail setup then19:43
ikoniaif postfix is only running when you send, it won't be listening to recieve19:43
roelof_ikonia:  I did followed the tutorials on the postfix pag19:47
ikoniathats not really what I said though19:47
roelof_ikonia:  what do you mean then19:48
ikoniaI mean you don't understand how your mail setup works19:49
roelof_I see when I do systemctl status postfix that it is active(exited)19:49
ikoniayes, you said that19:49
ikoniaand I explained the most likley cause for that, which you suggested was correct from your logs19:49
roelof_When i send a mail I recieve it back on the right mailbox  so I can recieve mails19:50
ikoniaright - so then you don't understand how your mail setup is working, because you told me it only starts when you send mail19:50
ikoniaif that was true you would not be able to recieve mail19:50
roelof_so I can assume that everything is working just fine19:50
ikoniano19:50
ikoniaI would not make that assumeption at all19:50
roelof_oke, but I cannot check anything because I do no have a mail.log19:51
ikoniathats not the only log19:51
ikoniaand I suspect you don't have a mail log because something is not right with how postfix is starting up / exiting19:51
roelof_can be. Im just learning postfix19:52
roelof_I will take a break and read the tutorials again. Thanks for the help ikonia19:54
