Felix, Thanks for the reply. Believe me, I tried all of the tricks in the hat without any luck. Finally, I decided to resize the partitions and instead of carving out space from the volume group, I created a new partition “sda3”. That did the trick. Other than one been an LVM and the other a regular partition, not sure why the first time it didn’t work.
