Ok I tried to create a partition... this was again following some guide where some commands give warnings. Now when I run "$ sudo pvcreate /dev/sda3" it says "Device /dev/sd3 excluded by a filter." Whatever that means.Paul– Paul2020-05-30 06:51:42 +00:00Commented May 30, 2020 at 6:51

One site says "You may now see the message 'Device /dev/vdaX not found (or ignored by filtering)'. In that case the partition table needs to be reloaded using the command: partprobe /dev/vda" --- I ran this as well but doesn't change anything, it's still "Device /dev/sda3 excluded by a filter"Paul– Paul2020-05-30 06:59:14 +00:00Commented May 30, 2020 at 6:59

Ok after getting quite fed up, I deleted my new partition again, and then got it to work following this guide, replacing vda with sda, and having your steps open alongside which mirrored mostly. transip.eu/knowledgebase/entry/141-how-do-grow-partition-linuxPaul– Paul2020-05-30 07:22:18 +00:00Commented May 30, 2020 at 7:22

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
