Hi David,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the delay in replying.<br>
<br>
I still believe you can get your 120GB drive how you want it, so all
is not lost yet.<br>
<br>
It looks like your LVM partition is the correct size now, but the
volume with your root filesystem is still the old size. This
suggests that you need to run:<br>
<br>
lvextend -l+100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root<br>
<br>
the first letter of lvextend is lower-case "L".<br>
the second argument to lvextend is: "dash", lower-case "L",
"plus"-symbol, one, zero, zero, percentage-symbol, and finally the
word "FREE" in upper-case; all without spaces between.<br>
<br>
then run:<br>
<br>
resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root<br>
<br>
It is probably best to do these in a cd/dvd-booted live session to
be sure it's as safe as possible.<br>

<div>I am going to spare you Daniel all the details
and other readers of this post.<br>
</div>
Briefly I had documented everything and that is now
lost for reasons I can only guess. I had chosen your
Option 2 without success and then Option 1 with I hope
is success. I did though suffer errors on re-boot and
so attempted another re-boot - this time it reported
fsck issues which I answered F to and all seemed fine.<br>
</div>
I then rebooted from the 60GB USB drive to grab the
documentation and started up Firefox to get at my Google
drve. Firefox started as if this was the first time it
had ever started - weird and accessing the google drive
and trying to find my documentation file - it was not
there! Odd!<br>
<br>
</div>
So I reboted into my 120GB and again Firefox starts as if
brand new - bookmarks and history have gone. Cpuld dd
have done that?<br>
<br>
</div>
But forget that I think I now have a full 120GB system but
am starting to have some doubts over some of the files.
What command should I run to give me confidence I have a
full 120GB?<br>
</div>
Thanks<br>

<div>OK, from the above read-out it looks like fdisk
changed the start position of your partition when
you recreated it. We have two options as to how to
proceed:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>As you have your old LVM disk hooked-up you
can reblow the data across to the new larger
partition and then run the pvresize, lvextend
and resize2fs again thereafter. To reblow the
data use `dd if=/dev/sdb5 of=/dev/sda5 bs=1m`.</li>
<li>Alternatively you can try to recreate the lvm
partition again with a start of 257M instead of
the fdisk-chosen default 258M (it chose 258
because that's "aligned" better for your SSD;
but being 1MB further into the disk means that
the lvm metadata is dangling unaddressable at
257MB) and as above rerun the pvresize, lvextend
and resize2fs again.</li>
</ol>
