i am fairly sure i chose the automatic setup for me lvm, use the entire hdd, creating root and swap. but i noticed about 150gb missing on my system, so i investigated. the command Code: vgdisplay has this in the output: Code: VG Size 297.85 GiB Alloc PE / Size 35762 / 139.70 GiB Free PE / Size 40487 / 158.15 GiB why is the 158gb free, why wasnt it included in the allocated (logical volumes) ?
that's the diskspace that you have not used. it's not unallocated, it's just free meaning open for use. try running this command Code: df -h this will show you your used and free space on each volume. EDIT: if you issue the pvdisplay command that should show you the physical volume sizes which I think is what you want to find. I'm not 100% sure on this I'm still learning UNIX
