Hi there,
Is the problem that you've got 4 partitions & this prevents you form
making a 5th?
Because using LVM I would simply create a new partition and add it to
the volume group.
The contents *should* indeed remain intact if one simply deletes the
partition & recreates at the same starting point, yet larger. I'm
sure I've used parted as well as cfdisk for this sort of thing in the
past, yet hesitate to recommend either as I would fear making a typo
with an unfamiliar tool, thereby rendering my data mythical.
