How to Extend Encrypted Kali Linux (LVM on LUKS) & Reclaim Full Disk Space
In the previous video, we shrank our encrypted Kali Linux partition. Now, let's reverse the process! This guide will show you how to safely extend your LVM on LUKS installation to reclaim unallocated space and restore it to its original, full size.
This is the perfect tutorial if you've removed your dual boot and want to give all the disk space back to Kali. We'll cover the "outside-in" restoration process and focus on the final, most commonly missed step: resizing the filesystem (resize2fs) to make the new space usable.
