It helped me Extend my LVM. Only thing though, when I tried to use vgextend it told me that my partition wasn't a physical volume. so i had to go to another forum to learn about the "pvcreate" command: pvcreate /dev/hdb (the new drive you are adding to LVM) Might be useful to someone else.

Its just an cheap way of having expandable mount points. Joe: Well I am not surprised really, its probably a good idea to umount it first. Badi: Yes thats basically what it will do.

If so thank you so much, I have been looking for a way to do this forever and haven't been able to find a good tutorial on LVM. so this will keep all the data on volume1 and add the new drive size to volume1?

I usually google around for awhile before I get something working, this one did the trick on the first try. Interestingly, I tried all the above on a live filesystem (it's just a vmware test image, didn't matter if I broke it), and successfully added a drive & extended the / partition. Didn't unmount or reboot. Thanks. I usually google around for awhile before I get something working, this one did the trick on the first try.
