I had a 30 GB machine and I run out space. Then, via the VMWare Workstation GUI, I have extended that space.

It got to "unallocated space" at first, then I tried to extend it with gparted, but no luck, there is not option to resize it.

Then, I have tried this:

https://www.joomlaworks.net/blog/item/168-resizing-the-disk-space-on-ubuntu-server-vms-running-on-vmware-esxi-5

But I got no output from:

vgdisplay

So I cannot extend it.

I have tried manually to do:

pvcreate -ff /dev/sda3 vgcreate "name" /dev/sda3 vgextend name /dev/sda3

but got:

 Physical volume '/dev/sda3' is already in volume group 'name' Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda3' to volume group 'name' /dev/sda3: physical volume not initialized.

Seems like a rathole =/

I solved it via de 1 method:

cd /mnt/ ls mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ cd /mnt/ rm -rf lost+found/ cp -rp /home/* /mnt/ mv /home/ /home.orig mkdir /home cd / umount /dev/sda3 mount /dev/sda3 /home/ df /dev/sda3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 51342396 7936608 40767968 17% /home ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig nano /etc/fstab

Added this line to fstab:

/dev/sda3 /home ext4 defaults 0 0

rm -r /home.orig df -u

The result is:
