I see few issues above.

LVM is not a filesystem. You don't need to shutdown VM to extend its disk size. You don't need to boot from any installer CD to resize partitions, you can do it from within live system with fdisk, although if you have some unusual partition layout you're probably better off doing it offline. You can also extend filesystem on a live system, no need for shutdown.

correct, didn't think properly when I wrote that. Logical volumes can be put into logical groups that could contain pools of hdd's that can be sees as one, can also move space around easier and have snapshots. I had errors when trying to write the new partition layout hence why I used a live CD. Probably could of looked into it more but didn't want to spend forever on it or mess up any partition data.

@Pete-S Using a bullet point in a damn folder or file name is not at all normal!

Just discovered that someone on this forum was sending us files with bullet points in their names. But they are printable in our systems and cause no issues.

What file system are you using, some of the bullet points I've found are for actually creating the blip noises on archaic systems.

Don't know, our storage is a cloud platform.

Long file names can be a serious pain... for copy and backup reasons.

I recall a NTG client that used a long name for the directories,.. and it made updating nearly impossible Should follow the KISS method... Directory names don't need to be 120 characters long,.. and four deep.
