<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the recommendation, Brian - I think CloneZilla helped. Having said that... when I boot the system off the newly minted 1TB drive and run fdisk, I get the error: "Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary". This will cause a major performance hit, from what I've read. Maybe I should re-do the CloneZilla operation and have it just copy partiton to partition, and this time make sure the second partition starts on a 4k boundary.<br>

Probably not directly. If you haven't used up all 4 of your primary<br>
partitions, you MIGHT be able to dd the disk, then run fdisk and add a<br>
new primary partition, and then extend the LVM that way. LVM allow you<br>
to add new disks/partitions to an existing volume group.<br>
<br>
But I would recommend downloading clonezilla. It will go way faster<br>
than dd, and it WILL allow you to expand the volume group.<br>
