problems with lvm resize

Hey all,

Am having issues with a plex server i made. i give the vm 500gb but after a few days i noticed the hard drive was only 200gb with 300 somewhere else?

I have used all 200gb up and i cant for the life of me get the extra 300gb added to the 200gb

i hope that makes sense. please see some screenshots below that may help explain it better

Thanks. Always great when people work it out for themselves and post how they did it.

Had to do this recently.

Its tricky especially if its your first time.

I always try to do a few runs on a test box before moving to a real system.
