Can you get buy with using lvm features, i.e., just add the chunk to the volume you want. Use cfdisk to create a new partition (sudo cfdisk /dev/sda) Select the unused space, create new partition and then select write, then quit. reboot for changes to take. Go in to lvm, then finally use resize2fs and your extra space will now be used in the system. $ sudo lvm lvm> pvcreate /dev/sda4 Physical volume "/dev/sda4" successfully created lvm> pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda2 vg_c6 lvm2 a-- 60.43g 0 /dev/sda3 vg_c6 lvm2 a-- 17.20g 0 /dev/sda4 lvm2 --- 19.53g 19.53g lvm> vgextend vg_c6 /dev/sda4 Volume group "vg_c6" successfully extended lvm> lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/vg_c6/lv_home Size of logical volume vg_c6/lv_home changed from 22.06 GiB (5648 extents) to 41.59 GiB (10647 extents).
