Additional disk space is not showing up on Fog server

[Wayne Workman]

@sjensen I’d also recommend against gparted in this particular case. To do what you need manually it’s only a couple standard linux commands.

@Wayne-Workman it’s a little late for that Wayne. I’ve used Gparted already. It seemed like a good solution.

[sjensen]

@Junkhacker Would this work for a Hyper-v machine too?

[Junkhacker]

@sjensen your virtual machine doesn’t know it’s a virtual machine, so what hypervisor you’re using is irrelevant. everything in the steps past gparted (which you say you’ve already done) is relevant

[sjensen]

@Junkhacker Thank you for the link. If I understand this correctly, gparted resized the partition, now I have to go in and make changes so Ubuntu sees that I extended the hard drive space. Is basically what needs to happen? Please bare with me I am new to Linux, i’m still learning. Any advice is appreciated.

@sjensen If you run that list of commands again that I posted previously, we can see exactly how it is now and give you guidance on what to do.

Just trying to help.

@Junkhacker Thank that link worked

Well if it’s still exactly like how it was in the photos he posted, this command would allocate the free space available in the volume group ‘FOGserver-vg’ to the logical volume ‘root’

lvextend -l 100%FREE /dev/FOGserver-vg/root/

And then this command would then expand the file system on root

resize2fs /dev/FOGserver-vg/root

After that, a simple df -h should show the space is available at the / mount point.

@Wayne-Workman Wayne thank you for the reply. I used the that Junkhacker posted. It worked very.
