I have a dedicated server with 1&1 and in their infinite wisdom they've created a 200gb partition on a 4tb drive and installed Plesk/OS in to that partition which means I can only expand the volumes using LVM up to that 200gb, this is a big problem as the data for sites/email I need to migrate take up 1.8tb.
I made the stupid mistake of assuming that they'd have used the entire (or most of it bar the swap etc) drive so I didn't check and now I have live data on it which we can't lose.
This is the 200gb partition they've set up:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 4.0G 921M 3.1G 23% /
/dev/mapper/vg00-usr 9.8G 1.6G 7.7G 18% /usr
/dev/mapper/vg00-var 95G 8.4G 82G 10% /var
/dev/mapper/vg00-home
103G 15M 98G 1% /home
/dev/mapper/hdd-data 3.9G 8.0M 3.7G 1% /data
none 32G 112K 32G 1% /tmp
vg00-var is where all the user data etc. is stored
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 vg00 lvm2 a-- 216.97g 80.97g
/dev/sdb1 hdd lvm2 a-- 3.42t 3.42t
SDB1 is the remainder of the drive which is currently unused, is there a relatively painless way I can somehow assign that 3.42tb to vg00-var? I've spent weeks trawling through google and found nothing that really applies.
TIA.
