If I understand you correctly you will need to do something along these lines...
You need to know the names of your volume groups and logical volumes.
use pvscan, vgscan & lvscan to display what you have. eg
root@MythTV:/etc# pvscan
PV /dev/sdc2 VG vg_tv lvm2 [1.82 TiB / 59.31 GiB free]
Total: 1 [1.82 TiB] / in use: 1 [1.82 TiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
root@MythTV:/etc# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "vg_tv" using metadata type lvm2
root@MythTV:/etc# lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/vg_tv/lv_photo' [292.97 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/vg_tv/lv_music' [195.31 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/vg_tv/lv_video' [1.19 TiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/vg_tv/lv_backup' [97.66 GiB] inherit
ensure that /dev/sdb5 is partition type LVM
# fdisk /dev/sdb
use p command to display partitions
use t command to change type to 8e
Add the partition to you volume group
# pvcreate /dev/sdb5
Add the new partition to your volume group
# vgextend vg_name /dev/sdb5
Extend the root logical volume
# lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/vg_name/lv_root /dev/sdb5
Resize the volume to match
# resize2fs /dev/vg_name/lv_root
Thanks for the suggestions, I think I may have enough there to fix
things, that or destroy the system! :-)
I will give it a go in the morning.
