Chiming in a little late here but I would suggest the following (although I'm certainly not a LVM expert): lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/VolGroup00/my_volume (notice the lower case l in -l, not upper) This should make sure you add 100% of the extents of the new drive to your logical volume. As I've said, I'm not an expert so I don't know the innards of "lvextend" but I would be concerned that if you specify the size of the expansion in gigabytes instead of as a percentage that you might get some unallocated extents due to rounding.
