Hi Erik, Thanks for suggestion, I tried this too and was successful till lvextending the logical volume. However at the stage of running resize2fs it produced errors like : Bad super block..." so I ended up installing from an ISO and partitioning without LVM this time so that I could use this template to resize in future.
