How do I extend my lvm partition?

[dorbe (Dor Beeri)]

Hi all,

On my freepbx I added 50GB to /dev/sdb

**[root@pbx1-ams-central efixvpbx]# lsblk
**NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
**fd0 2:0 1 4K 0 disk
**sda 8:0 0 70G 0 disk
**├─sda1 8:1 0 300M 0 part /boot
**├─sda2 8:2 0 67.5G 0 part /
**└─sda3 8:3 0 2G 0 part [SWAP]
**sdb 8:16 0 90G 0 disk
**└─freepbx_vg-monitor 253:0 0 40G 0 lvm /var/spool/asterisk/monitor
**sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom

so, now I have 50GB allocated and 40GB used by freepbx_vg-monitor= 90GB total.

I want to extend └─freepbx_vg-monitor with the allocated 50GB. I tried

vgextend freepbx_vg /dev/sdb as well as lvextend -L +50G /dev/freepbx_vg/monitor
but no free space there to use.

VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
freepbx_vg 1 1 0 wz–n- <40.00g 0

Please assist if you can, thanks in advance.

The Free PBX web interface showed some Daemons not starting and Asterisk module as errored, ie some critical errors Logged into the console as root. Immediately a host of errors were shown, a quick scan through them came up with several that indicated a lack of disk space. A…
