GParted not able to dd Unallocted space to /dev/sda*

Question

There is no way I can extend the current volume with the new allocated space that is available, and the locks can't be opened.

Edit: after de-activating it, it was possible to expand it. And I actived again, but the new 1GB was not added.

Fdisk shows:

root@youbuntu:~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/ram0: 64 MiB, 67108864 bytes, 131072 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes

Device     Boot   Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *       2048   999423   997376  487M 83 Linux

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1: 1020 MiB, 1069547520 bytes, 2088960 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

There is 5.5GB space instead of 7.5.

The operation was clearly successful. – Michael Hampton Aug 09 '16 at 16:36 — Michael Hampton, Aug 09 '16 at 16:36
No, the new added 1GB is not available yet @MichaelHampton – user1469734 Aug 09 '16 at 17:01 — user1469734, Aug 09 '16 at 17:01

Looks like all of the space is there. Looks like you haven't extended your filesystem

resize2fs /dev/sda5
e2fsck /dev/sda5

$ resize2fs /dev/sda5 resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015) resize2fs: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda5 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. – user1469734 Aug 09 '16 at 16:51
unmount the device. all of this has to be done with the location unmounted – xguru Aug 09 '16 at 16:52
had to do this: lvextend -r -l +100%free /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root :) thnx – user1469734 Aug 09 '16 at 17:04
