the argument for lvextend would be capital -L instead of -l if using actual size like 1GB. For swap, do swapoff -a then sudo mkswap [MOUNTPOINT] then swapon -a

Fixed apparent typos.

The GParted Live CD image automatically used the swap space within the LVM partition of my RHEL 5 and 6 VMs. I had to run sudo swapoff -a from the command line then use the deactivate on the partitions with the padlock.

| Sep 8, 2016 at 14:14 | comment | added | Frank.Germain | Nothing was working for me, the lock wouldn't go away even after trying to "deactivate" several times. The only thing that actually unlocked my partition in gparted was to create a new partition in the empty space and then delete it. The lock icon went away and I was able to extend the extended partition... | |

I had to run sudo lvdisplay to get the [MOUNTPOINT]. In my case it came back as LV Path (/dev/ubuntu-vg/root)

| Nov 25, 2015 at 22:54 | comment | added | twig | After using gparted, the partition wasn't showing the right amount free. These 2 command line functions were exactly what I needed to finish the job. Thanks for sharing that wizardry | |

| Aug 20, 2015 at 11:02 | comment | added | Andreas Reiff | Thanks! I also needed lvm lvdisplay to get the exact device for lvextend, and later df -h to find out the volume on which to resize. | |
