Thanks for this, very helpful and I have just successfully extended my volume group.
Thought you would want to know you have a typo in step 3, sentence "To do this use pvextend command. (i.e. pvextend /dev/VolGroup00 /dev/sda3)." should use vgextend and not pvextend. The command under it is correct, but you made the typing mistake in the instructions.
The best tutorial,
thx
Under step 1, it's missing the portion of creating the parition. Before doing the t,3,etc, you need to do n,p,3,enter,enter.
