"Utilizing the full 2 TB SSD while keeping the existing system partition"

[xavax]

Hello everyone,

I have a 2 TB SSD (see attached image). Currently, part of this drive is being used for the system, but I would like to fully utilize the 2 TB capacity.

• The current partitions are:
  • /dev/sda1: BIOS boot (1 MB)
  • /dev/sda2: EFI (1 GB)
  • /dev/sda3: LVM (319 GB)

I would like to keep the existing partition for the system (LVM) and use the remaining space to create a new partition dedicated to storage.

How can I achieve this while keeping the system functional?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I would like to keep the existing partition for the system (LVM) and use the remaining space to create a new partition dedicated to storage.

Just resize the LVM to its maximum size and use LVM(-thin) as storage for VMs. You don't need partitions if you have LVM
