Nimbostratusunable to install 2nd image to F5 VE LTM but can not resize disk
I have a VE in AWS with two images on it. When I went to install a third I got this error
"failed (Disk full (volume group). See SOL#10636)"
I deleted the failed partition and the unused partition and tried again. Still received the same error
typing "vgs", shows "vg-db-sda 1 9 0 wz--n- 99.79g 9.71g"...................9.71G is not enough free space but none seems to have been recovered by deleting the second partition.
I tried using this article https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K74200262 to free up some space using
"lvreduce --resizefs --size -10G /dev/vg-db-sda/dat.appdata"
but that fails with
"resize2fs: Inappropriate ioctl for device While trying to add group #4096"
so I have a VE with one active partition and no way to apparently load any other images........I have similar images with 3 partitions so I am really unclear what is going on. Seems like deleting volumes/partition did not recover any space. Unit has been reloaded a couple of times.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Did you deploy the VE as a "1 boot location" location from the AWS marketplace by chance?
F5 BIG-IP VE - ALL (BYOL, 2 Boot Locations)
F5 BIG-IP VE - ALL (BYOL, 1 Boot Location)

simon_tipperso it seems that the appdata partition appears to have more space allocated to it than shows up.
I tried "lvreduce --resizefs --size -30G /dev/vg-db-sda/dat.appdata" and that appeared to work and gave me more free space and at that point I could install a new image

The original image did come from AWS Marketplace but I am not sure if there were any limitation on boot locations
