Vejamos no exemplo abaixo como aumentar uma partição LVM, que está dentro de uma partição Extended. No exemplo abaixo, recriaremos a partição da LVM, que deve iniciar a partir do mesmo setor antigo, ou seja, em nosso exemplo o setor inicial da nossa LVM é o 501760, sendo assim a nova partição redimensionada deve-se iniciar também no setor 501760.

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.29.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.


Command (m for help): d
Partition number (1,2,5, default 5): 2

Partition 2 has been deleted.

Command (m for help): n
Partition type
   p   primary (1 primary, 0 extended, 3 free)
   e   extended (container for logical partitions)
Select (default p): 

Using default response p.
Partition number (2-4, default 2): 2
First sector (499712-1677721599, default 499712): 501760
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (501760-1677721599, default 1677721599): 

Created a new partition 2 of type 'Linux' and of size 799,8 GiB.
Partition #2 contains a LVM2_member signature.

Do you want to remove the signature? [Y]es/[N]o: N

Command (m for help): t
Partition number (1,2, default 2): 2
Partition type (type L to list all types): 8e

Changed type of partition 'Linux' to 'Linux LVM'.

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Re-reading the partition table failed.: Device or resource busy

The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8).

Em seguida basta reiniciar a máquina para que as alterações sejam aplicadas, e então redimensionar o Physical Volume de nossa LVM:
