In this article,I am using a virtual instance of linux machine hosted on SUN virtual box.
The linux machine is allocated a harddisk space of 5 gb .
The root partition itself occupied 4 GB of space and the rest was allocated to Swap.
It was all clear from a beginning that i m going to face space crunch on the newly created machine.
Thankfully root was partitioned with LVM.
So i added a new Hardisk of 8 GB and extended the / size.
I found following post very useful .

I learned not to grow the partition when it is mounted(Especially /) and rather use live CD to do the same.
