      The system is saying that xvda2 is mounted.

      Yet I have no idea how it's mounted.

      df -h

        So, just grep /etc/mtab for xvda2.

            So, I think you can safely force the pvcreate.

                Oh, xvda2 is your root filesystem. What's the output of fdisk -l? It looks like it should be xvda3

                xvda1 is the boot partition.

                    Did you create a partition for the free space? You need to use fdisk to make a third primary partition.

                        Dumb question, would it be easier for me to simply add a separate drive, and then extend the root drive into the new drive?

                          Maybe.
                          You can skip the fdisk stuff and add a whole new block device to LVM if you add another virtual disk.

                            @Francesco-Provino I'm fine with a separate physical device, so long as the system uses it as a single device.

                              You can actually move everything to the new drive using lvm. Tho I don't remember how to do that offhand, I'd have to look it up.

                                OK so this is what I have with a new "physical" drive attached to this VM.

                                        You don't want to extend a pv tho, you want to create a new one. Add the new pv into the current vg (volume group), and then extend the lv (logical volume) to fill the new pv.

                                        pvcreate /dev/xvdb
                                        vgextend fedora /dev/xvdb
                                        lvextend -l 100%FREE /dev/fedora/root
                                        

                                        See if that lvextend works, might need to feed it another vg/pv path.
