Tried to get help on ubuntu's stack exchange but was told since it involves a proxmox host that it is off topic. The rest is just a copy paste from there.


This is my second install of Ubuntu 20.04 on a Proxmox host, where I have provided 1000GB space and during install Ubuntu only used 200GB of space leaving the rest unallocated. I followed the default LVM disk partition program under the assumption that the use full disk option would actually use the entire disk space for Ubuntu.
I need help getting Ubuntu to use the rest of the unallocated space.
Using
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
does not work, claiming new size matches existing size.
fdisk -l

Proxmox shouldn't be the problem here.

What is lvs and vgs returning?
Did you tried to extend the VG before extending the LV (vgextend)?
