[SOLVED] Did I screw up trying to resize my logical volume ?
Hi all,
I think I might have just made a big mistake. Right now everything looks ok but I am afraid I might be in trouble down the road.
My arch install is in a LV and I decided to give it some extra space after using the command lvresize. In particular I did:
lvresize -L +20G /dev/volgroup0/lv_root
However, I forgot to include the --resizefs command. Is this critical ? The output of lsblk shows that lv_root has indeed grown by 20G but maybe it is just fooling me and things will get ugly once I try to extend beyond the original size ? or maybe I will just be ok ?

You grew the logical volume, but not the filesystem.
That just means that you will need to resize the filesystem manually.
