+# Expanding a LVM
+
+This guide provides instructions on how to expand a LVM. _This was tested on Ubuntu 22.04._
+
+## Get Started
+
+- Begin by opening a terminal and running the following command:
+
+```bash
+lvdisplay
+```
+
+This command will display the volume groups.
+
+You should see something like this:
+
+```bash
+--- Logical volume ---
+LV Path                /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
+LV Name                ubuntu-lv
+VG Name                ubuntu-vg
+LV UUID                eIxgxf-ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP-QRsT-UVWxYz
+LV Write Access        read/write
+LV Creation host, time ubuntu, 2023-06-27 08:00:00 +0000
+LV Status              available
+# open                 1
+LV Size                50.00 GiB
+Current LE             12800
+Segments               1
+Allocation             inherit
+Read ahead sectors     auto
+- currently set to     256
+Block device           253:0
+```
+
+You can find the volume we will be expanding by looking at the `LV Path` it should be something like `/dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv`.
+
+- Next, you need to expand the volume. Run the following command:
+
+```bash
+lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
+```
+
+This command will expand the volume to use all available space.
+
+- Finally, you need to expand the filesystem. Run the following command:
+
+```bash
+resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
+```
+
+This command will expand the filesystem to use all available space.
+
+## Finished
+
+You now have a LVM that has been expanded to use all available space.
