In case I have to manage with partitions, the must is that you can do it only if it is the last partition, and you are ok. Normally I use fidsk and I first delete the last partition and then without exiting the utility I create again it using the same starting point and the new larger end. For this, take care of using option to show sectors and not cylinders ("u" switches between the two options) and print your partition layout ("p" comamnd), so that you can set exactly the same starting point of the new xvda2 partition otherwise you will have destroyed it and LVM layer would not be able to identify it (also the type if now it is 8e for Linux LVM). Eventually you will have to run also the command partprobe /dev/xvda to align os with new partition layout Take care and read well (also on other sources on internet in case). Also backup your partiion layout before making changes with sfdisk -d /dev/xvda > part_table.before and compare with what you have after. HIH, Gianluca
