Unable to resize lvm to max of vda

Question

I am trying to resize my lvm partition frm 29GB to ~60GB. Here is my current status:

root@demo:~# lsblk
NAME                      MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT

loop7                       7:7    0  32.1M  1 loop /snap/snapd/12057

loop9                       7:9    0  67.6M  1 loop /snap/lxd/20326
sr0                        11:0    1  1024M  0 rom

├─vda2                    252:2    0     1G  0 part /boot
└─vda3                    252:3    0    59G  0 part 
  └─ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 253:0    0    29G  0 lvm  /

As you can observe, my vda3 is 59G and my lvm is 29G. When I run the following commands I am unable to resize the lvm to ~59G.

root@demo:~# lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
  New size (7423 extents) matches existing size (7423 extents).
root@demo:~# resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
resize2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
The filesystem is already 7601152 (4k) blocks long.  Nothing to do!

root@demo:~#

How can I fix it?

What is the size of the volume group (`vgs`)? – eblock Jun 03 '21 at 11:34 — eblock, Jun 03 '21 at 11:34

Then you need to extend the volume group first. – eblock Jun 03 '21 at 11:47 — eblock, Jun 03 '21 at 11:47
@eblock `pvresize /dev/vda3` did the trick – Nitescu Lucian Jun 03 '21 at 11:51 — Nitescu Lucian, Jun 03 '21 at 11:51

Apprently it worked with:
