    The above also worked great for me. I had one step in there, let's call it step 7.5 where I had to unlock my physical volume: sudo pvchange -x y /dev/mapper/crypt-volume (via ubuntu docs help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions) Commented Feb 27, 2018 at 5:04
  • On Ubuntu 20.04 I used fdisk instead of parted in step 2 because it has a resize option. And for lvresize the LV path changed (it's not in a subdirectory). Commented Nov 12, 2021 at 9:20
  • I used cfdisk and lvresize -L ... (with capital "L"). Check lvresize --help if unsure. Commented Aug 29, 2022 at 15:01
  • Just did this twice, and moved partitions around with gparted. Everything worked great, including grub! Commented Jan 11, 2024 at 7:34
  • Thanks, it worked perfectly. Ran into an issue with step 4. I could not close the volume. I got the error device still in use. I rebooted before I could go to step 5, but everything went smoothly afterwards. Commented Jun 3, 2024 at 14:43
