This applies to different scenarios but perhaps most common is a virtual machine which needs more disk space. This guide assumes you have extended the disk in your hypervisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check disk by listing them with: Partition size by running: If the new size isn’t listed\/shown, we have to scan for changes: Example output could be: The scan all devices individually: After that we can use Verify the changes by running: The disk is now ok and we can move onto resizing the partition. Start utility: Next, resize the physical volume: Now, extend the logical volume (remember to edit to match your system): Finally, run resize2fs to apply the changes: We are done. Verify free disk space with: This applies to different scenarios but perhaps most common is a virtual machine which needs more disk space.
