If the LVM PV refers to a partition on a disk (e.g. /dev/sdb3) rather than a complete disk (/dev/sdb), you'll first need to expand the partition to use the new space. Use the :code:```growpart``` command to do this:

Note that it is intentional that there is a space between the '/dev/sdb' and '3'. It's also important to note that this will only work if the partition number is the highest numbered on on the disk. For example, if you had /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2, /dev/sdb3, /dev/sdb4, and your PV was /dev/sdb3, you couldn't expand /dev/sdb3 because /dev/sdb4 would be in the way. Contact support for advice if you find yourself in this situation.

The growpart command isn't always installed by default on a server, you may need to install it first using yum / apt / dnf as appropriate.
