lvextend: Increase a volume's size to 120 GB.
$ lvextend --size ${120G} ${logical_volume}
try on your machine

This command is used to extend the size of a logical volume in a Linux system.

Here is an explanation of the command and its parameters:

  • lvextend: This is the command used to extend the logical volume.
  • --size ${120G}: This parameter specifies the new size for the logical volume. In this case, ${120G} is a placeholder for the new size value. Given that it is surrounded by ${}, it suggests that the size is provided as an environment variable or a variable declared in a script.
  • ${logical_volume}: This parameter specifies the name of the logical volume to be extended. Similar to the previous parameter, ${logical_volume} represents a placeholder for the actual name of the logical volume.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
