In fact, there's no need to stop the volume group, since it's a "logical volume extension"... so, the command below should take care of this (umount the file system before): # lvchange -an /dev/appsdata/apps1 Now run lvextend and then run lvchange again to re-activate the logical volume: # lvextend -ay /dev/appsdata/apps1 Don't forget to extend the filesystem itself before trying to remount it! If it's an Ext3 filesystem, the following command should resize the filesystem automatically according the new volume size: # resize2fs /dev/appsdada/apps1 And now finally mount the filesystem /dev/appsdata/apps1 and enjoy!
