This command is used to resize a logical volume in a volume group using the LVM (Logical Volume Manager) utility. Here's an explanation of each component:
lvresize
: This is the command itself and it is used to resize a logical volume.--size ${100}%FREE
: This option specifies the new size of the logical volume. In this case, it is set to 100% of the free space available in the volume group. The${100}%FREE
is a variable expression indicating 100 percent of the available space.${volume_group}
: This is the name of the volume group where the logical volume resides. It is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the volume group.${logical_volume}
: This is the name of the logical volume that needs to be resized. Similar to the volume group, it should be replaced with the appropriate logical volume name.
By providing the appropriate values for ${volume_group}
and ${logical_volume}
, this command will resize the specified logical volume to utilize all the available free space in the volume group.
