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.
