    Hi

    Probably some mistake on my part.

    Ubuntu says I only have 3.9GB available, but the virtual disk i made is 200GB, Why am i not seeing this?
    (does it have something to do with me enabling VLM when installing the OS?
    Does it auto-expand or something?

    From my Hyper-v:

    This is Ubuntu 18.4 LTS, new install.

    Thanks in advance.

      @baessens 4GB is really small for a linux root partition. I an surprised your server runs.

      I have a solution for what you want, but it might not sound easy to you.

      1. Create a new virtual disk and connect it to your FOG server. This will be your FOG Images disk. Make it what ever size you need.
      2. Partition it using a standard partition format (no lvm).
      3. Format the disk with xfs or ext4 format.

      This above configuration will allow you to easily grow the disk when/if you need more space. LVM adds in a layer of complexity to expand your disk.

      Now what you will do is temporarily mount this new disk, like to /mnt/images then migrate everything in /images to /mnt/images making /images empty.

      Then unmount /mnt/images

      Lastly mount the new disk to the /images directory and update fstab to mount that disk on every reboot.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        @Baessens Please as well run the following commands (as root) and post output here. Maybe we can find out where your disk space is “used”.

        fdisk -l /dev/sda
        lsblk
        lvscan
        vgscan
        pvscan
        

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

          @baessens I’m going to take a guess, but is the disk a “dynamic virtual disk” by any chance?
