I don't know the steps which ended up in this position, but I currently have some extra space from resizing the virtual volume in VMWare. I think we tried using fdisk or parted on an ubuntu VM. But I am currently seeing this when I 'print' from 'parted'
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 256MB 255MB primary ext2 boot
2 257MB 295GB 295GB extended
5 257MB 133GB 133GB logical lvm
How can I get the extra space from the 295GB extended partition to show up in the lvm? Here is the fstab:
/dev/mapper/cmail-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=2518f444-6a6d-4fff-8c42-da640ad95655 /boot ext2 defaults,acl 0 2
/dev/mapper/cmail-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0
Here is the fdisk -l dump:

You can see the non-valid partition tables on 2 volumes. Any diagnosis about this? Thanks.
