I originally installed Ubuntu and just told it to do it's thing, but enabled LVM, I am now trying to (from a live usb) resize that so I can add 150GB to the end.
Basically here is the part of that guide I am following at the moment:
`lvm pvs --units s` Display the partition Size in SECTORS using parted and take note of the Start sector and partition Number of the partition with “lvm” in the Flags column:
`parted /dev/sda unit s print` POINT OF NO RETURN – HAVE BACKUPS
So now we need to nuke the old, large partition from the partition table, and immediately recreate it with the exact same Start sector, but with a newer, shorter End sector. To calculate the new End sector, ADD the partition Start sector to the PV PSize, and then add a safety margin…
If I am correct I believe the first number is the original start sector of the partition, and the second number is this part "To calculate the new End sector, ADD the partition Start sector to the PV PSize, and then add a safety margin of around 131072 sectors (64MB) to that. "
Not really, Don't have the bandwidth, nor the time to download the updates and other packages that I need again.
There seems to be plenty of results on Google where people had similar problems. An example:

Hmm, I believe I am slightly wrong with my guess as to what those sectors are, running the command with my values gives me;
> You requested a partition from 257MB to 591GB (sounds right to me) > The closest location we can manage is 750GB to 750GB. > Is this still acceptable
When I removed the partition from the table to recreate it I got:
Partition 5 on /dev/sda have been written but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result the old partition with remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes. Ignore/Cancel: Ignore Information: You many need to update /etc/fstab
Hence, when I try to re-create the partition the old one is still there. and it cannot work.
I am booting from a live usb, so, I should be safe to reboot and the continue where I left off correct?
Lol, Mc Donalds is currently running a promotion where you can win free netflix rentals... There are 40,000 of them to give away, I am concerned about the NZ internet if even half of those get used
Yeah, I can't wait: CFH has a mandate to provide at least 75 per cent of New Zealanders with access to Internet services at speeds of at least 100 Mbps (Downstream) and 50 Mbps (Upstream), while enabling service providers to deliver high quality, reliable services.
@Hailwood Mandates have side-effects. I'ld be worried about selective traffic metering. "Sure you get amazing speeds, but only for the first 50 MB per site per day" or something like that.

My Ubuntu12 server VM is receiving its IP address from an DHCP server (actually my WLAN router called Fritz Box). Hence all domain names are resolved to machinename.fritz.box. The reason seems to be the resolve.conf.
But how can I change this search name to an arbitrary name such as xyz.mydomain...
