      I recently added more disk space to my virtual fog server. I can see the additional disk space in the Linux os, but in Fog server the disk space is the same size before I added space.

        First, what version of FOG are you using?

        Second, can you see the additional disk space if you key in sudo df -h on the fog server console?

        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!

            @sjensen fog console, i.e. logging into the fog server via ssh or the fog server monitor and keyboard.

              There is a Linux console, all Linux have a console. Terminal or SSH is what George is talking about using.
              What OS is your fog server running on?

                Ok I thought he might be talking about terminal, but was not sure. I thought I missed something in Fog.

                Ubuntu 14.04

                  @sjensen ok now that I wasn’t totally clear

                  If you connect via ssh to your fog (linux) server console and key in df -h can you see the added space you created?

                    @sjensen Can you post the output of all of these commands actually? If you are like most people you used all the defaults when installing Ubuntu, and there are volume groups setup.

                    sudo -i
                    df -h
                    lsblk
                    fdisk -l
                    pvdisplay
                    vgdisplay
                    lvdisplay
                    

                    Please post using the code formatting tool, preferably with the output of each command in it’s own box.

                        @sjensen Did you expand the volume?

                        It may require you to run a live cd to expand seeing as, if I’m understanding correctly, you’re trying to expand the root partition.

                        While it is possible to resize the root partition live, I’d recommend against it.

                        If you can create a snapshot of the system before you make any partition changes, I think it may help you out too.

                              @sjensen I think, then, all you need is

                              vgextend FOGserver-vg /dev/FOGserver-vg/root
                              

                              Edited as I copied from another site, and forgot to modify the vg_tecmint portion.

                                  @sjensen linux console…

                                  What may be confusing you is that linux (here) is using LVM (logical volume manager) to manage your disks. It doesn’t have an equivalent in the windows realm. But LVM is an abstract layer between the hardware and the OS. If you close one eye and squint with the other one, one might says its a kind to a disk virtualization layer. Between the hardware and the OS. (even if the system is running as a virtual machine). LVM allows you to add more disks to an operating system without needing to reformat your hard drive to extend it. Granted its much easier now with linux running on a vm to extend the vmdk and add space, when you are talking about physical servers, it a bit harder. That is where LVM comes into play.

                                    @sjensen Open a terminal.

                                    Gain root: (If ubuntu typically sudo -i).

                                    Once at the root prompt, run the command.

                                    Root prompt looks similar to:

                                    [root@fogserver ~] #
