Extending Logical Volumes

[Hektor]

I was able to use lvextend to extend the logical volume but I need to extend the filesystem to use this space. I'm missing something here and I can't figure it out. Can anyone give me some help?

So you want to 'decrease' the logical volume and increase the filesystem volume? Or I'm misunderstanding?

[Hektor]

Yes, you are misunderstanding. I've added space to the Logical Volume (physical space, one whole hard drive) but the partition (which is a logical volume) needs to be expanded still.

So you want to extend your partition? (from the freespace you have?)

Why do you want to do that? What's it good for?
