How to expand LVM partition of image running on USB drive
I downloaded a .img and wrote it to a USB drive. I am now running out of space, even though the USD drive is quite big. I believe the size of the LVM partition was set in the image. Layout looks like:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 391M 26M 366M 7% /run
/dev/mapper/xserver--vg-root 5.8G 5.2G 264M 96% /
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 472M 102M 346M 23% /boot
tmpfs 391M 0 391M 0% /run/user/1000
The system boots off this drive so I don't know if it's possible to unmount it. Could I boot another instance of Ubunut and then run certain commands to resize it? The goal would be to use 100% of the USB drive.
