Extend size of LVM volume

1. Create a new partition using fdisk or similar partitioning tool
2. Create a Physical Volume (PV):
lvm pvcreate /dev/[new partition]
3. Add the new PV to the volume group (VG) you're extending:
lvm vgextend [vol_group] /dev/[new partition]
4. Extend the Logical Volume (LV) with the extended VG
lvm vgdisplay [vol_group]
lvm lvextend /dev/[vol_group]/[logical_volume]
5. Increase the size of the filesystem
resize2fs /dev/[vol_group]/[logical_volume]
6. Check the extended filesystem
e2fsck /dev/[vol_group]/[logical_volume]
7. Remount the filesystem
mount -o remount /dev/[vol_group]/[logical_volume]

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Reclaim your computer!

A personal computer is called a personal computer because it's yours. Anything that runs on that computer, you should have control over.
— Andrew Moss, Microsoft's senior director of technical policy, 2005

The most serious impediment to a lasting archive is the evolution of media, platforms, formats, and the applications that create them. Unique, proprietary, and constantly evolving data formats such as Acrobat-4, MPEG-4, Oracle 8, Quicken 2001, Real G2, and Word 2000 suggest or even guarantee obsolescence.
— Gordon Bell, Senior Researcher in Microsoft's Media Presence Research Group.
