Expanding LVM based disk size on the fly (Fedora 16+)
Used on Fedora 16 GPT partition table
This disk is sitting on a VMware virtual machine - the VM GUI was used to add 40 GB to the existing 20 GB virtual disk, I then rebooted to pick up the change. Once rebooted I use fdisk to verify the 'physical' device, gdisk to modify the partition and resize it to the full extent as indicated by vmware. Once this is done the physical volume needs expanding (pvresize) and the logical volume needs extending (lvextend). A final filesystem resize (resize2fs) will allow the fs to be available for use. Again a final reboot checks everything. Reboots are not necessary as this can all be done on the fly.
STEP 1
# fdisk is no good on GPT tables but I used it to find the physical device name:

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sda.
Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
The operation has completed successfully.
