Linux Administration Bootcamp: Go from Beginner to Advanced - Extending Volume Group (VG) and Logical Volume (LV)

The video tutorial covers the process of extending a volume group and logical volume using LVM. It begins with identifying available disks and adding a new physical volume to the volume group. The tutorial then explains how to extend the logical volume and grow the file system using the LVL extend command with the Dash R option. Common mistakes, such as forgetting to resize the file system, are addressed, along with solutions. The video concludes by highlighting the flexibility of LVM in managing file systems across multiple storage devices.
