Rocky lvm disk expand

1. Expand in your hypervisor

fdisk /dev/sda 

1. Create new partition etc

2. Set disk type 8e, Linux LVM

3. Create PV volume (/dev/sda3 in my example)

pvcreate /dev/sda3 

1. Check what PVS you want to expand

pvs

  PV         VG Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree
  /dev/sda2  rl lvm2 a--  <63.00g     0
  /dev/sda3     lvm2 ---   36.00g 36.00g

In my case, volumegroup "rl"

1. Extend volumegroup

vgextend rl /dev/sda3

1. Check which LV you want to expand

lvdisplay

  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/rl/swap
  LV Name                swap
  VG Name                rl
<Removed unnecessary info>

  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/rl/home
  LV Name                home
  VG Name                rl
<Removed unnecessary info>

  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/rl/root
  LV Name                root
  VG Name                rl
<Removed unnecessary info>

in my case I want to expand "/dev/rl/root"

1. Extend

lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/rl/root /dev/sda3

  Size of logical volume rl/root changed from <39.68 GiB (10157 extents) to 75.67 GiB (19372 extents).
  Logical volume rl/root successfully resized.

1. Resize filesystem

xfs_growfs /dev/rl/root

meta-data=/dev/mapper/rl-root    isize=512    agcount=4, agsize=2600192 blks
         =                       sectsz=512   attr=2, projid32bit=1
         =                       crc=1        finobt=1, sparse=1, rmapbt=0
         =                       reflink=1    bigtime=1 inobtcount=1 nrext64=0
data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=10400768, imaxpct=25
         =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096   ascii-ci=0, ftype=1
log      =internal log           bsize=4096   blocks=16384, version=2
         =                       sectsz=512   sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1
realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0
data blocks changed from 10400768 to 19836928

1. Verify that /dev/mapper/rl-root has grown

df -h
