I've just resized the Virtual Space on VirtualBox image 5G to 15G. I then used GParted to resize the physical partition which now looks like this:
and using fdisk command:
Disk /dev/sda: 16.1 GB, 16106127360 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1958 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0009221c
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 32 248832 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 32 1959 15477761 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 32 689 5280768 8e Linux LVM
The problem is I can't find any examples for resizing the LVM partition that look similar to this or on Debian.
Most examples look something like this but I'm not exactly sure
pvresize /dev/sda5
pvscan
lvextend -L +10G /dev/? /dev/sda5
resize2fs /dev/?/lv_root
Update
So I figured out the correct command is:
lvextend -L +10G /dev/private2/root
Which gives now gives error message:
Extending logical volume root to 14.78 GiB
Insufficient free space: 2560 extents needed, but only 0 available
