I am not sure about "PVS" but "FREE" will work You want to extend the LV so it should be rather something like this:
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/system/root (or /dev/mapper/system-root) (/dev/system is a Volume group which from I can see has been already extended - it has 7GB free ) Of course it that is what you want to do? Extend the size of root logical volume? Next you will have to resize the filesystem. If it is ext3 or ext4 you can just do resize2fs /dev/system/root and it will use all free space. But, what I don't like, is the output of your "df" command. Nobody said anything about it before so I guess it is ok, but I've never seen something like this: /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /var/tmp /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /var/spool /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /var/opt /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /var/log /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /var/lib/pgsql /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /var/lib/mailman /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /var/crash /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /usr/local /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /var/lib/named /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /tmp /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /srv /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /opt /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /home /dev/mapper/system-root 5.3G 3.0G 2.0G 60% /boot/grub2/s390x-emu According to this, the same logical volume is mounted multiple times. Honestly it doesn't make sense to me. There should be just one mount point if you have only one logical volume "root" without separate volumes for other mount points. /dev/mapper/system-root xxx xxx xxx 60% / And that's it.
