LVM will then be resized to this disk. Follow the given steps in the screenshots, and create a logical volume.
ubuntu@director-1:~$ sudo cfdisk /dev/xvda
- Reload the box
ubuntu@director-1:~$ sudo reboot After the box is up, verify you see new parition (xvda6 in this case) ubuntu@director-1:~$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT xvda 202:0 0 512G 0 disk |-xvda1 202:1 0 953M 0 part /boot |-xvda2 202:2 0 1K 0 part |-xvda5 202:5 0 79.1G 0 part | |-system-swap_1 (dm-0) 252:0 0 29.8G 0 lvm [SWAP] | |-system-opt (dm-1) 252:1 0 9.3G 0 lvm /opt | |-system-var (dm-2) 252:2 0 28G 0 lvm /var | `-system-root (dm-3) 252:3 0 12G 0 lvm / `-xvda6 202:6 0 432G 0 part
- Execute the script to extend the volume.
