Script to resize a LVM Partition after extending the underlying disk device.

gistfile1.sh

#!/bin/bash
##########
# Script to resize a LVM Partition after extending the underlying disk device. Can be used on physical or virtual machines alike.
# Tested with CentOS6, RHEL6, CentOS7, RHEL7. This script is only intended for MBR partitioned disks and not for GPT.
#
# The script will first resize the partition by changing the partition end sector of the selected partition, and then after a reboot resize the filesystem.
# By default it rescans the SCSI bus to check a change in disk size if the disk was hot-extended, which is easy with VMs, and only then proceeds.
# If the extended disk size is recognized by the OS already, you can force resizing with the -f flag.
#
# It is recommended you backup the boot sector of your disk before as a safety measure with something like the following:
# # dd if=/dev/sda of=sda_mbr_backup.mbr bs=512 count=1 
# # sfdisk -d /dev/sda > sda_mbr_backup.bak

Options:
 -p physical LVM volume device to extend (check pvdisplay)
 -l logical LVM volume to extend (check lvdisplay)
 -f force extending without a disk rescan. Use this if the OS has detected the enlarged disk already, otherwise we first check whether the underlying disk is larger after a SCSI rescan
