Raspbian NAS constant disk activity after extending LVM with new disk
I just added a second hard drive to my raspbian NAS (pi4 4GB), added it to the LVM storage volume, extended the filesystem (ext4). It's reporting the proper size and seems to be working just fine, but there's non-stop activity (the LED for the new drive is blinking and the drive is making accessing noises).
I'm hoping / assuming it's just some background process where the disk is getting... something'd? No idea what exactly... there's nothing special in
I ran
I see
Is this something to be worried about, or should I just wait a couple of days and see if it's some kind of background fsck or lvm process that's checking the disk without the activity being visible in

dmesg (nothing since the ext4 expansion was done) or syslog, iotop reports only known processes that are using the disk and it was doing the same thing before those were runningI ran
pvcreate /dev/sda (the new disk) to create a physical volume, vgextend storage /dev/sda to add the new disk to the existing VG, then lvresize -l +100%free /dev/storage/storagelv to extend the LV. resize2fs /dev/mapper/storage-storagelv extended the ext4 filesystem, which took maybe 15 minutes and reported done.I see
jbd2/dm-0-8 pop up (as well as jbd2/mmcblk0p2-, which is the sd-card iirc) occasionally, maybe once every 10 seconds, but the drive activity light is blinking on and off maybe 4x a second, and the drive is making noise in time with the lightIs this something to be worried about, or should I just wait a couple of days and see if it's some kind of background fsck or lvm process that's checking the disk without the activity being visible in
iotop?
