I added 20G of space to the vmware virtual drive. pvresize - success vgresize - success and then I tried to do a lvresize but it failed. I didn't understand your original answer but Marian was a bit clearer, however I'm still confused and I can't fix my drive. There are so many fs types and they race them through fedora. I realise this isn't your problem but I'm left not knowing how to fix this. I tried gparted but it can't resize lvms and I don't know how to resize my sdb2. Could you offer any help or point me to a dummies guide since this is a lvm partition. I found a guide to resize an ext3 or ext2, but not lvm and I don't know if it will break if I try to delete the partition and recreate it?
