Increase of size of ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv to cover full boot disk allocation

[kratax]

Dear all,
I have started to proxmox and have an issue with increasing size of ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv on ubuntu VM where the allocation of disk was increase to 1.6TB, however, I can see only 32.2GB inside Ubuntu. Below is the detail from parted and lsblk. Could you advice me how to allocate full sda3 size to ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv?
Thanks a lot!

while you increased your disk size, you still need to extend your lvm volume and the ext4 filesystem inside it. The easiest way to do that is with gparted or, if you are comfortable with the commandline, there is a thread in the forum [1].

If you want to do it with gparted

1. download the gparted live iso[2] to your proxmox instance.
2. in the proxmox web interface, click on the ubuntu vm you want to increase, click on `hardware` -> `add` -> `cd/dvd drive` and select gparted as your iso.
3. boot your vm, press `esc` on boot to enter the boot menu, select gparted.
4. gparted will open, you should see a big bar of unused space. resize the lvm to the end of the unused space and then the ext4 partition. apply and done

once you reboot the ubuntu vm, you should see the increase
