Some time ago, I grew the VMware disk where I installed Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS from 200GB to 250GB Unfortunately, I did not account for the fact that the system was LVM and had an encrypted / partition. The question is: what's the best way to use the unallocated 50GB at the end of the extended partition? THX! Right now, df -h looks like this: and fdisk -l looks like this:
Not sure how to grow an encrypted partition. But maybe you could just add a new partition there and mount it so you can use it separately for your backup tmp dir and maybe other data storage?
Found this, does it look reasonable? https://askubuntu.com/questions/747073/how-to-expand-an-encrypted-ubuntu-partition-with-lvm
