Unallocated space

[sjensen]

Thanks this good it helps me to learn a little more about linux. I will let you know the outcome.

@sjensen ok so i got through this part: So we start by creating a new partition in that unallocated space using GParted. Probably that will be sda6 then.

If that has been achieved you want to create a LVM physical volume (PV) on that new partition.

Then noticed this warning.

@sjensen Hmmm, possibly GParted want’s to format the newly created partition with a filesystem. You don’t want that as we want to add that new partition to an existing filesystem. Just ignore the warning and see if you can mark this partition to be LVM instead of ext4!

It being sda3 is ok. GParted is creating a primary partition instead of an extended and therefore uses 3 instead of 6 as number. That’s fine.

[sjensen]

The only choice i get for LVM is LVM2pv, would that be ok to use?

[Sebastian Roth]

@sjensen Yes, sounds fine to me.

[sjensen]

That worked, this is what i see now. I would assume i should go back to the commands you listed before and try to run those?

Yes, just use /dev/sda3 instead of where I wrote /dev/sda6…

[sjensen]

Here is the final result. Does this look correct?

[Sebastian Roth]

@sjensen To see if you have more space available where you want it, run df -h

[sjensen]

@Sebastian-Roth said in Unallocated space:

df -h

Looks like i’m good to go. Thanks very much for all your help. I will save the commands for future reference.
