Using XenOrchestra I increase the size of my VM disk from 48GB to 120GB
However when I run lvdisplay, I still see only 48GB so cannot extend it.
--- Logical volume ---
LV Path /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
LV Name ubuntu-lv
VG Name ubuntu-vg
LV UUID E0suyX-Rs9R-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-p7LO-8orcQf
LV Write Access read/write
LV Creation host, time ubuntu-server, 2024-02-28 03:53:00 +0000
LV Status available
# open 1
LV Size <48.00 GiB
Current LE 12287
Segments 1
Allocation inherit
Read ahead sectors auto
- currently set to 256
Block device 253:0```
Looking at the disks under Local Storage, and it all looks fine there too
Did you check using lsblk?
I am betting it is there. you’ll have to do these steps next
something like this
pvresize /dev/sdb
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
resize2fs
Thanks, yes
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
I then ran
sudo pvresize /dev/xvda3
And got
Physical volume “/dev/xvda3” changed
I tried just /dev/xvda but got
Cannot use /dev/xvda: device is partitioned
After that I runsudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
and got
New size (12287 extents) matches existing size (12287 extents).
With nothing changing so resize2fs does not do anything.
You at least got the PV resized which is the first step. Now you need to resize the LV. What are the results of “df -h”?

Not sure if the following helps
sudo pvresize /dev/xvda3 -v
Archiving volume group "ubuntu-vg" metadata (seqno 5).
Resizing volume "/dev/xvda3" to 100657152 sectors.
No change to size of physical volume /dev/xvda3.
Updating physical volume "/dev/xvda3"
Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/ubuntu-vg" (seqno 6).
Physical volume "/dev/xvda3" changed
1 physical volume(s) resized or updated / 0 physical volume(s) not resized
It’s been a minute since I have done this. I can’t remember if you specify the mapper for you apply this right to root. Try to run the lvextend command on “/“ or root
You mean
sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /
Have to step our for a few days, will try when back

Alas, can’t get this right either.

Ok so booted off a GParted USB and then resized the partition, after which I could run lvextend and resize3fs.
Thanks for your pointers.
