SolutionSo if you don't have enough space, add another new disk.
Hope this helps!

Re: Extending LV size
Along the same thinking with vgextend you can add an unused disk to vg05, you can not do anything with disks that already belong to other volume groups.
As it is you can add about 32GB to your LVOL
There are 8208 free PEs in vg05 at 4MB each.

Re: Extending LV size
However, if you have a subdirectory under lvexp, that could be mounted onto a new mount point under vg00.
