Working with Linux LVM

Growing your lvm partition.

• Find free space:
• lvm vgs (VFree is amount of free space)
• Find the the logical volum:
• lvdisplay (LV Name is what you want)
• Extend the drive (Add 50GB to current size) : 
• lvextend –size +50G /dev/drive
• unmount the drive (If drive is busy use lsof | grep /mountpoint to find the process that is using the mountpoint)
• e2fsck -f /dev/drive
• resize2fs /dev/drivemount
• done

Its best if the drive is umounted before the lvextend command runs. (I have never had issues with this but you never know. )
