If so, why? I may be reading the description wrongly, but it looks to me like only the secondary partition is an LVM one. If it is, and you are not using it and there is nothing in it, I suggest you remove it, and the extended partition that it's inside. Then, make a file in the root directory called: forcefsck This causes Ubuntu to check and repair the root drive on the next reboot. You'll need to use sudo: sudo touch /forcefsck Then reboot. It will take a while and when it's done the file should have disappeared. Then resize /dev/sda1 to the full capacity of the disk. You will need to use a LiveCD to do this, you can't do it from the running OS installation itself, any more than you can change your shoes while you're running. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
