I have just cloned my hard disk of 128 GB to a big one of 500GB . I have use commands dd to do it. The partition of ubuntu was done with lvm in the first installation. So when I plug in the new hard disk , the free space is not included in the /home , so I have to resize the partition. enter image description here

I have been booting from an usb live and after checking the partition I have got it to be like this now:

enter image description here

But still my /home has not more capacity

enter image description here

And this is how it looks

enter image description here

PS: RESOLVED! I have been using commands lvextend -L and resize2fs for that partition to be resized. It works. Still is weird that is not a easy way with an easy interface like gparted.

Yes. That is correct. A clone will make a clone, and the new image wouldn't be much of a clone if it were different from the original ...

So it is there a way of using all that space?

With a new drive, it would have been a good time to convert from the 1980's era MBR(msdos) partitioning to the newer gpt partitioning. You then could have done a new install & resync'd data. Or LVM has its own tools.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
