首先说明一下情况，在VmWare上建立了一个Linux 虚拟机，当时硬盘只分配了20G用着用着发现硬盘不够了需要扩展。

1.在VMware中将硬盘扩展到40G（这个鼠标点点就好了） 2.输入fdisk /dev/sda看看硬盘有没有变大
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 5221.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 42.9 GB, 42949672960 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5221 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              14        2610    20860402+  8e  Linux LVM
这里我们发现一共有5221cylinders，可是结束却在2610cylinders，这说明硬盘有空余，说明硬盘扩展成功。
3.新建分区
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 5221.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): n //创建一个分区（卷）
Command action //问你是主分区还是扩展分区，我们输入p代表主分区
   e   extended
   p   primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 3 //问你是第几个分区，我这里前面有两个分区了，输入3表示建立第三个分区
First cylinder (2611-5221, default 2611):  //问你分区从哪个cylinder开始，保持默认
Using default value 2611
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (2611-5221, default 5221):
Using default value 5221 //问你分区在哪个cylinder结束，我们输入回车，表示硬盘的最后一个cylinder
Command (m for help): t //输入t我们修改刚刚建立的分区格式
Partition number (1-4): 3 //问我们改哪个分区，输入3改第三个
Hex code (type L to list codes): 8e //改成什么格式的，输入8e，表示Linux LVM格式
Changed system type of partition 3 to 8e (Linux LVM)
Command (m for help): p  //输入p查看修改以后的状态
Disk /dev/sda: 42.9 GB, 42949672960 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5221 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              14        2610    20860402+  8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sda3            2611        5221    20972857+  8e  Linux LVM
Command (m for help): w //输入w保存，这里可能要求重启
4.对新建的分区格式化，输入#mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3
[root@localhost ~]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)

5.创建一个PV，输入#pvcreate /dev/sda3
[root@localhost ~]# pvcreate /dev/sda3
  Physical volume "/dev/sda3" successfully created
6.将建立好的PV加入到现有的VG中，输入#vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sda3 （注意这里第二个参数为VG的名字）
[root@localhost ~]# vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sda3
  Volume group "VolGroup00" successfully extended
7.扩展LV，输入#lvextend -L +20G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
[root@localhost ~]# lvextend -L +20G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
  Extending logical volume LogVol00 to 35.94 GB
  Logical volume LogVol00 successfully resized
8.从新识别一下LV的容量，输入#resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
[root@localhost ~]# resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
resize2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Filesystem at /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
Performing an on-line resize of /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 to 9420800 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 is now 9420800 blocks long.

9.至此扩展就已经成功了，你可以输入df -l查看新的容量
[root@localhost ~]# df -l
