Since I started out with Linux (so about six years ago), I always used the Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) to partition my tables. First it was just because it seemed easier to configure my harddisks with it (also, the installer usually provided a nice option to do so), but in the last few months I had the possibility to work more with LVM and got to know some nice features.

One thing I regularly have to do is to extend an existing logical volume on a server. This article focuses on extending a logical volume with the help of LVM.
