Adding disks to an LVM

One of my virtual machines ran out of disk space the other day because I wasn't sure of disk sizing when I initially started playing with it. The solution was simple the LVM had to be extended. This is how you do it:

1. sudo apt-get install system-config-lvm
2. sudo pvcreate /dev/your_disk
3. sudo vgextend VG_Name /dev/your_disk
4. sudo lvextend -1 +100%FREE LV_PATH 
5. sudo resize2fs LV_PATH
6. sudo init 6

That is it, simple right?

To determine the disk(s) you want to add you do ls /dev/sd* it will return your disks, you will probably want to add the disks with no numbers at the end.

To figure out your volume group (VG_NAME) you do sudo vgdisplay and to figure out the logical volume path (LV_PATH) you do sudo lvdisplay.
