Expand hard drive

Assuming you are on VMware, you just shut down and increase the virtual hard drive size. You should know how to do this, so I won;t include it here. You may also be able to add a physical or virtual disk.

Create LVM Physical Volume

Using fdisk, add a new partition with type 8e. If possible, leave room between the end of the last existing partition and the new partition.

Using pvcreate, create the physical lvm volume.

  1. pvcreate /dev/sdb1
