1. Scan for devices that can be used as physical volumes
lvmdiskscan
2. Create physical volume
pvcreate /dev/sdd1
3. Display physical volume
pvdisplay
4. Display logical volume group
vgdisplay
5. Add a physical volume to a logical volume group
vgextend vg1 /dev/sdf1
6. Display all logical volumes
lvdisplay
7. Display a specific logical volum
lvdisplay -v /dev/myvg/homevol<pre> 8. Extend logical volume by a set amount (e.g. 1GB) <pre>lvextend -L+1G /dev/myvg/homevol
9. Extend logical volume to a set amount (e.g. 12GB)
lvextend -L12G /dev/myvg/homevol
10. Extend logical volume to fill all free space on logical volume group
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/myvg/testlv
11. Resize the underlying ext4 file system to the maximum of the new logical volume. Get the device name from df command
