I am using a fresh Ubuntu server install and have a 30GB disk allocated to it. However, I only have 15GB of usable space: enter image description here

My physical volume: enter image description here

fdisk:enter image description here

Can I expand this? If so, how? If not, why? I'm very new to Ubuntu and Linux so please forgive any ignorance on how this all works.

Turns out this was because of my ecryptfs filesystem.

I first had to remove it, following this post: How can I completely remove ecryptfs from my system and delete .Private?

I saw some comments about messed up logins afterwards so I recreated my home directory just in case before restarting.

I then resized the logical partition with lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/root this resizes it to use the remainder of the free space.
