# lvextend
# Increase the size of a logical volume.
# See also: `lvm`.
# More information: <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/lvextend.8.html>.
# Increase a volume's size to 120 GB:
lvextend --size 120G logical_volume
# Increase a volume's size by 40 GB as well as the underlying filesystem:
lvextend --size +40G -r logical_volume
# Increase a volume's size to 100% of the free physical volume space:
lvextend --size 100%FREE logical_volume
