Thank you. I read that already. And since it only says:
"Expand the PV on /dev/sda1 AFTER enlarging the partition with fdisk"
my question is related on part of enlarging partition with fdisk. Do I
have to do it in described way (delete, create new with extended last
sector) to preserve data or is there any other "less destructive
look-a-like" way?
Best regards

Hello All!
I have read all the archives, HOWTO etc. but I don't seem to find the
definitive guide to do it correctly.
My diskspace in Linux is on SAN. The last partition (/dev/sda3) is LVM,
ext3 and it represents my /home. Now I expanded the SAN volume and I
would like to add this additional space to this last LVM partition.
I already see larger disk space with fdisk. AFAIK I have now two
options. Either I create new partition (for example /dev/sda4) and
pvcreate it and add it to Logical Volume or I can resize existing
/dev/sda3 since it is the last partition and I can resize it to new end
sector.
I would prefer resizing existing partition. So I should make backup,
delete existing partition /dev/sda3. make new partition with new end
sector and same start sector and do pvresize, lvresize on it right?
Is there any other way to do it? It is after all quite something to
delete existing live partiton and hope it still work after resize :)
man pvresize
Thank you!
