### step 1: to increase logical volume - observe the logical (lv) size, only 11G
root@xb-tfe-01:/host/xbhome# df -h
Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs                              792M  1.6M  791M   1% /run
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv   19G  6.8G   11G  39% /
tmpfs                              3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                              5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
vmhgfs-fuse                        207G  168G   39G  82% /host/torrentdownload
vmhgfs-fuse                        150G  107G   44G  72% /host/edrive
vmhgfs-fuse                        150G  107G   44G  72% /host/xbhome
/dev/sda2                          2.0G  127M  1.7G   7% /boot
tmpfs                              792M  4.0K  792M   1% /run/user/1000

### step 2: to increase logical volume, lsblock shows sda3 is 39G, only 19G is allocated to lv
root@xb-tfe-01:/host/xbhome# lsblk
NAME                      MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
loop0                       7:0    0   62M  1 loop /snap/core20/1587
loop1                       7:1    0   47M  1 loop /snap/snapd/16292
loop2                       7:2    0 79.9M  1 loop /snap/lxd/22923
sda                         8:0    0   40G  0 disk
├─sda1                      8:1    0    1M  0 part
├─sda2                      8:2    0    2G  0 part /boot
└─sda3                      8:3    0   38G  0 part
  └─ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 253:0    0   19G  0 lvm  /
sr0                        11:0    1 1024M  0 rom

### step 3: to increase logical volume, now extend the lv additional 19G :38G (sda3 size) - 19G (current lv size)
root@xb-tfe-01:/host/xbhome# lvextend -L +19G /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
  Size of logical volume ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv changed from <19.00 GiB (4863 extents) to <38.00 GiB (9727 extents).
  Logical volume ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv successfully resized.
  
### step 4: to increase logical volume, lsblock now has the logical volume expanded
root@xb-tfe-01:/host/xbhome# lsblk
NAME                      MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
loop0                       7:0    0   62M  1 loop /snap/core20/1587
loop1                       7:1    0   47M  1 loop /snap/snapd/16292
loop2                       7:2    0 79.9M  1 loop /snap/lxd/22923
sda                         8:0    0   40G  0 disk
├─sda1                      8:1    0    1M  0 part
├─sda2                      8:2    0    2G  0 part /boot
└─sda3                      8:3    0   38G  0 part
  └─ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 253:0    0   38G  0 lvm  /
sr0                        11:0    1 1024M  0 rom

### step 5: to increase logical volume, resize the file system now in the logical volume
root@xb-tfe-01:/host/xbhome# resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Filesystem at /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 3, new_desc_blocks = 5
The filesystem on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv is now 9960448 (4k) blocks long.

### step 6: to increase logical volume, run df -h, size increased from 11G to 38G
root@xb-tfe-01:/host/xbhome# df -h
Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs                              792M  1.6M  791M   1% /run
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv   38G  6.8G   29G  19% /
tmpfs                              3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                              5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
vmhgfs-fuse                        207G  168G   39G  82% /host/torrentdownload
vmhgfs-fuse                        150G  107G   44G  72% /host/edrive
vmhgfs-fuse                        150G  107G   44G  72% /host/xbhome
/dev/sda2                          2.0G  127M  1.7G   7% /boot
tmpfs                              792M  4.0K  792M   1% /run/user/1000
