+ | So, like me, you installed Ubuntu and accepted the installers default selections for lvm and now your operating volume is very small and the Ubuntu installer did not utilize the entire physical drive. There is a ton of space that is not being utilized. | ||

+ | Again, at this point we have increased the size of the block volume where your root filesystem resides, but you still need to extend the filesystem on top of it. | ||
