How increase her storage ?

Virtualization VM : Proxmox (V7.4.3)
VM FOG : Debian

Hi everyone,

I need your help.

I want to increase my vhdx (sdb1) which currently has a size of 160Go

what are the commands to apply for that fog to detect the new capacity

Thank you in advance for your return

@ITRecords Please run the following commands and post output here:

df -h
mount
lsblk
pvs
vgs
lvs

If you are keen read through this and go about it: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/16729/ubuntu-help-boot-problem-n00b/

Though I suggest you make sure you have a backup beforehand. And in case you are unsure better ask.

@ITRecords Just so I get this right. From your initial post it sounds like you have increased the size already. Right? What was the size beforehand?

Please run fdisk -l /dev/sdb and post output here. First I was misslead to think this was setup as LVM but it’s a normal type partition by the looks of it.

Be aware that size calculations vary. Some multiply by 1000 others by 1024 and that causes some difference as well.

Hi @Sebastian-Roth,

1. for the capacity of my disk (sdb1) this one had been add during the preparation of my VM

2. I want to expand this disk so FOG can see the new storage capacity

See the result

Thanks

@ITRecords Have been pretty busy with other things and forgot about this topic. Whoops.

Ok, so we have a plain disk drive here (sure virtual disk but no LVM or fake-RAID) which makes it pretty easy.

1. Make sure there is no FOG task (deploy or capture) running!
2. Stop NFS daemon: systemctl stop nfs-kernel-server
3. Unmount the partition: umount /dev/sdb1
4. Install an easy tool for expanding the patition: apt install cloud-guest-utils
5. Test expanding the partition: growpart -N -v /dev/sdb 1 (note the space before the partition number)
6. Expand partition: growpart -v /dev/sdb 1 (note the space before the partition number)
7. Expand filesystem in partition: resize2fs /dev/sdb1 (no space before partition number)
8. Mount partition: mount /dev/sdb1 /images
9. Start NFS: systemctl start nfs-kernel-server
