In this test procedure, first we create a new partition (/dev/hda2) using un-partitioned disk space. A new volume group (TestVG) and logical volume (TestLV) are then created using a physical volume created on the partition. An ext3 filesystem is then created on the logical volume, it is checked, and then mounted. A new physical volume (/dev/hda3) using the rest of the un-partioned disk space is then created and added to the volume group and logical volume. Finally, the filesystem on the logical volume is resized, and the integrity of the filesystem is checked.
