I have tried sudo lvextend -l+100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root (I

Hi David,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
I still believe you can get your 120GB drive how you want it, so all is
not lost yet.
It looks like your LVM partition is the correct size now, but the volume
with your root filesystem is still the old size. This suggests that you
need to run:

This post is to partly answer my own question at the end of my last post.
These 3 outputs may be useful:-

Let me start Daniel, by saying a big thank you for all your time and
patience in helping me with these issues - I really do appreciate it.
Well, I did what you advised. Deleted the inadvertent /dev/sda3, then
deleted /dev/sda5, and did a new, specifying a logical partition and

Well something happened if not what was desired! But no twisted knickers!
I booted from a Ubuntu liveCD and then CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to command prompt
and ran all commands as sudo.
I scribbled down outputs following many steps/commands you gave but forgive

Excuse the noob questions:-
I guess I need to boot from a live CD to do this?
Will those steps destroy my data? I appreciate a backup is always wise -

Many thanks for your responses. I only get the daily digest of ubuntu-uk
so forgive me if there have been some responses that cross in the mail.
Since my original post I have been doing more research. TBH I cannot
recall ticking the LVM option when doing the original install some years
ago.
