How to increase Virtual Hard Disk Size on a Linux Virtual Machine

Thanks

thank you, it's work. i have problem like that, after extend in my VM. i'm so confused how to merge or increase in my ubuntu. so, thanks bro for your information.

Working as of today with oracle linux 8. Just had to use xfs_growfs instead of resize2fs as already pointed out. Thanks a lot!

lvdisplay and vgdisplay commmand dont return anything what should I do?

xfs_growfs if resize2fs not work

vgdisplay command doesnt show any output
why?

I know you made this video years ago but tonight I was going crazy trying to figure this out, this video was exactly what I needed, thank you!

Thank you clearest tutorial on how to do this I could find. thank you for speaking clearly and going step by step.

Thanks Prasad . Well explained and short video Thanks. Keep going

Just what I needed thanks. I was on red hat. It was slightly different. At the end resize2fs will cause an error. Just swap the command for xfs_growfs and it works perfect!

for Debian 11 on wmWare, i have empty lvdisplay ? Can someone explain how to fix it ?

Very useful information thanks Prashad...

Great help Pal

hi prada, thanks for this. the very last command i got this error:

resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/ol/root
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

can you please help?

Thanks

wonderful to the point article , great job , as someone already pointed out for centos environment xfs_growfs is the command in the final step to refresh the volume

I am following those steps in a VM with Centos 7, but it does not display anything with command vgdisplay. Why?

Thank you. In Centos 7 default filesystem is xfs.
xfs file system support only extend not reduce. So if you want to resize the filesystem use xfs_growfs rather than resize2fs:
xfs_growfs /dev/root_vg/root
Note: For ext4 filesystem use:
resize2fs /dev/root_vg/root

The easiest way to extended partition in ubuntu is use gparted, "apt-get install gparted"

Perfectly explained video. Thanks for not convoluting commands and applications.
