扩展Ubuntu 21.10分区空间

Question

I'm trying to extend the size of my filesystem partition, but I don't know how to do it

I have 50 Gb non-asigned on my 1 Tb disk and my LVM is nvme

I tried using the "disks" application, lvextend, growpart and other bash commands without succes.

Thank you.

As a general advice I would recommend the following procedure:

1. Backup your data
2. Download and burn GParted onto a bootable medium.
3. Boot from GParted and use the GUI to resize your partition.

If you provide more information we might be able to provide concrete commands. For example, what is your partitioning scheme (MBR, GPT), do you use LVM, is it encrypted, ...?
