@RogerBrownTDL Ok, your /images directory is on the root partition and just filled it up. Not too much trouble - let’s hope it didn’t break the database.
Run
ls -al /images/devand post output here. Pretty sure there will be old broken image captures that we can delete. -

@RogerBrownTDL Ok, there is really only one. Probably the one that failed to upload because it filled the disk. I suggest you remove that because with a full disk that is not going to be a valid image in any case.
rm -rf /images/dev/c8d9d2d4c8acMake sure you don’t mess with this command (e.g. use spaces in other places or *) because it can do a lot of harm if used the wrong way. Just wanted to get out this beforehand as you told us you are a Linux beginner.
Now run
df -hto check the disk space available and reboot the whole VM. -
@Sebastian-Roth said in Ubuntu Help - Boot Problem #N00b:
df -h
Okay, removed the offending one using rm -rf /images/dev/c8d9d2d4c8ac df -h shows:

@RogerBrownTDL On the long run you need to look into purging some of the images and/or extending the disk space.
The other outputs you posted show that the root partition (LVM) really is only 100 GB in size while the whole VMDK container is 500 GB.
Extending the space is a bit more advanced but should be possible for you to achieve as well because things seem to be prepared already. After the reboot of the VM run the following commands and post output here:
pvs vgs lvs -

lvextend -L +398g ubuntu-lv --resizefsYou may need to reboot for it to take effect. This will use all the remaining LVM volume space for your logical volume. You can’t go smaller after the fact, so be sure you want to use it all first.

@lukebarone said in Ubuntu Help - Boot Problem #N00b:
lvextend -L +398g ubuntu-lv --resizefs
to confirm, this will mean I can actually use the box to it’s full 500gb drive allocation?
-
@RogerBrownTDL Yes.
lvextend - Increase the volume size -L - Specify the size to increase it by ubuntu-lv - The name of your logical volume (as reported) --resizefs - Resize the EXT{2|3|4} file system -
In which case based on the output here:

Please specify a logical volume path.
Run `lvextend --help’ for more information.
root@tie-fogdeploy-01:~#Would it be lvextend -L +398g ubuntu-vg --resizefs ?

@RogerBrownTDL Try this instead:
lvextend -L +398g ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv --resizefs
-
@lukebarone response: root@tie-fogdeploy-01:~# lvextend -L +398g ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv --resizefs

@lukebarone thoughts?

@lukebarone I am wondering if it’s wise to create another volume instead of extending the existing one. This way the images could be put on the separate volume/partition and would not be able to fill the root partition. But that’s just me trying to prevent this from happening again.
The downside of my proposal is that the existing 100 GB root partition can’t be used by images and therefore are kind of wasted because the FOG server itself will never use 100 GB disk space with the images on a separate partition.
So maybe it’s actually wise to just extend as proposed and @RogerBrownTDL needs to keep an eye on the disk space from now on.
So if you wanna go this path, do:
lvextend --extents +100%FREE ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv --resizefs -
@Sebastian-Roth So obviously as a Linux noob, I know very little… I’m purely (I know, insert puke emoji here) a Windows Sysadmin. If I understand it correctly the way i’ve got it setup is like having a single big C:\ and all i’m wanting to do is get the entire fog server to see it all rather than just a partition of it… If I follow that command
“lvextend --extents +100%FREE ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv --resizefs”
Will it do that so that the full 500gb would be visible and the images stored remain intact? -
@RogerBrownTDL said in Ubuntu Help - Boot Problem #N00b:

Yes! Although I am not a 100% sure the filesystem resize (to full size) will work while the system is running. Should work but I can’t promise you it will. As well just for safety reasons I always suggest for people to take a backup copy before doing these kind of operations on a production server. Should be really easy taking a snapshot in Hyper-V before going ahead.
The other option I was talking about would be like adding a D:\ drive and moving all the images to that new partition. As I said it’s wise on the one hand so images can’t fill up your important C:\ drive (with the database on it) but on the other side you waste free space on C:…

@Sebastian-Roth further info print i’ve got if this makes more sense:

Well, you can boot into a Live Linux ISO (Ubuntu or many others) to get to a command shell and do such things with the OS on disk not running. But I think you are fine doing it live after taking a snapshot backup.
