Trying to figure out how to resize LVM partition. I cloned hard drive using Acronis True Image and now have some space after LVM partition. As I see, before run pvresize I need to resize partition itself. Which tool can help me to do it? man pvresize refers to fdisk, but I can't understand how to use it for resize. Simply running pvresize does nothing. Actually I am trying to build some pipeline to quick make a test and production box from development one. I can make it manually by creating new pv and dump/restore, but its a 3 page of commands. And I still cant figure out that is the right tool for ext3 dump/restore. Another way is create new pv in free space and add it to volume group - but after that this box will be a little different from the original one, thus I need additional tracking of its configuration. Thank you. -- Stas Senotrusov
