Question About Lvm

[niels]

Hey I'm using LVM to manage my storage on my linux server.

Now I update my root folder to the size of 72 GB.

Before the size op my root folder 24 GB.

Now the problem is that my file system is complaining that my disk is full but I know and I'm 100% sure that that isn't the case.

Is there a way to get ride of this problem ? Must I do an update of some kind ?

This is an print out of lvdisplay command :

Thanks for the quick response

I found the solution,

after extending the lvm I had to extend the size of the filesystem.

The next command solved it :

resize2fs /dev/Niels-Home-Server/root
