Operation:

  • sudo vgs: ubuntu-vg 1 1 0 wz--n- 462.69g 362.69g
  • df -T / : /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv ext4 102626232 24338224 73028744 25% /
  • sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
  • sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

Never did this before on an encrypted drive. Is this the proper procedure? Obviously a complete image back up is in order, however, are there any gotchas, caveats, pitfalls that I should be aware of before proceeding?

    You can’t resize the filesystem without first resizing the crypted volume.

    You would expand this LV. Expand the crypted volume. The decrypt the volume and expand the underlying filesystem.

      hmmmm…I thought that the command sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv would extend the encrypted volume, and this command sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv would extend the filesystem.

    Do a backup image of the partition first before you run these commands.

    If you decide to use all free space: sudo lvextend -r -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

    Should suffice I’m pretty sure.
