Expanding Volume Capacity
The capacities of the existing volumes can be expanded after they are created.
Notes:
Expanding the volume capacity may erase all data on the volume depending on the formatting type. Backing up
the data before expanding the volume capacity is recommended.
To expand its capacity, the volume should be a file I/O volume; if expanding the capacity of a block I/O volume, it
needs to have been created on a drive or array that has LVM enabled.
