I have upgraded from a 1TB drive to a 2TB Drive and I have used CloneZilla to move Proxmox to the new drive and I am trying to Expand it to use the larger storage. I have Partition setup and expanded to 1.8T on the Linux LVM (/dev/sda3) but I when I go into the Proxmox interface and look in df-h it does not show the larger space for PV Size, I just see the old size of 931.29 GiB.

How can I expand this VM Storage Space to be larger for more Storage?

Thanks,
Noah.

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.25.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Thanks That seem to have worked. I have not seen that command show up in some of the instructions I have been trying to find for version 4.4. Using the command you are referencing I have found the tut that has the information. I have gotten it up to 1TB and I am trying to get it higher, It is working so far, not enough time to atm to fix it all the way, but it is working somewhat.
