not sure if this is useful, but in another howto, I read to run ` sudo partprobe /dev/sdb (inform kernel of partition change) sudo pvresize /dev/sdb1 (to extend the physical volume) sudo lvextend -L +1G /dev/mapper/nameyoufindindf (to extend the logical volume) ` afterwards you can resize the filesystem with "sudo xfs_growfs /" (where / is the mounting point)

the "+1GB" kan also be any size you want. Do not worry to exaggerate, if you enter a number that is too high, you get an error message: "Insufficient free space"
