16 Dec 08 Extend LVM2 Logical Volume

I found myself recently having to add some space to one of my LVM partitions. It’s fairly simple. First extend the partition size with lvextend:

lvextend -L+1G /dev/myvg/homevol

Then, because I use ReiserFS I do:

resize_reiserfs -f /dev/myvg/homevol

If you use a different underlying filesystem refer to this page from the LVM HOWTO.
