@egodigitus I also had to do that. Thanks for the help.

@egodigitus thanks for the additional step
@gjrdiesel thank you for the writeup, worked perfectly

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot

I found this solution and initially was unable to get it to run. As @egodigitus mentions, you may need to run the following command after parted.

$ sudo pvresize /dev/sda3

@Adrian016

I have updated the gist to now include the pvresize portion, thank you 👍

Thank you !

Hello, i think "sudo pvresize /dev/sda3" should be executed, as @Adrian016 wrote, after "sudo parted". At least only fixed order made effect. Since physical volume contains logical groups and those contains logical volumes.

Wow. Saved my bacon after setting up a Ubuntu VM on Proxmox and forgetting to set partitions properly. Kept building complexity in the Ubuntu VM until I ran into the disk size wall. Saved me hours of work!

thanks @gjrdiesel & @egodigitus 👍

Thanks, if only the internet showed up this as first results the world would be a better place 👍

Something I can finally reply to. Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks, works!

Thank you!

Thanks

just wanted to drop a high-five for your gist here. my plex media server VM was undersized for my combined library and i was getting the label on the vdisk right but the lvm piece was eluding my understanding until i got here.

now i have setup a filesystem cache for media via nfs to a filesystem on an ssd and enough disk space for metadata and previews so my kids will stop groaning that i'm rebooting the plex server and they say THANK YOU too <4
