Never did this before on an encrypted drive. Is this the proper procedure? Obviously a complete image back up is in order, however, are there any gotchas, caveats, pitfalls that I should be aware of before proceeding?
Might be less confusing if you take a look at what you have with
lsblkfirst. That might give you a better view of your existing disk layout so you know what you need to do. To your specific question though, I’m pretty sure resizing the LUKS volume is done with some sub-command incrypysetup. I’m not at a proper computer to check, but it’s definitely in the man page.All that assumes you have LUKS underneath LVM, which is fairly standard practice.
Hope that helps get you pointed in the right direction.
Edit: meant this to be a comment reply, not a post reply.
You can’t resize the filesystem without first resizing the crypted volume.
You would expand this LV. Expand the crypted volume. The decrypt the volume and expand the underlying filesystem.
hmmmm…I thought that the command
sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lvwould extend the encrypted volume, and this commandsudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lvwould extend the filesystem.I realize now i may have been confused as you didn’t specify everything.Is the LUKS volume created right on the disk on a raw partition?
Is the LUKS volume created right on the disk on a raw partition?
Yes. I’m sorry for the confusion and incomplete info. I’m flying a little blind here. The first two commands in the OP were to check what I have, and the last two were to extend the LUKS and then the filesystem.
