Extend volume to fill volume group

Question

I'm trying to extend a volume to fill the rest of the space of a vg, but doing:

sudo lvextend -l 100%FREE /dev/martin_rubio/homevol

I get this:

New size given (5887 extents) not larger than existing size (7152 extents)

So its getting reduced. If I pvs, this is the output:

PV         VG           Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree 
/dev/sda2  martin_rubio lvm2 a--  99,76g     0 
/dev/sdb1  martin_rubio lvm2 a--  50,00g     0 
/dev/sdc1  martin_rubio lvm2 a--  75,00g 23,00g

So apparently its not getting the space left in the last disk. Why this may be?How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Use + before percentage

lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/volgroup/logvol
