With VMware virtualization software providing flexible options to configure virtual hardware such as CPU, memory, and disk devices, you can extend the size of an existing virtual disk. However, you must resize a partition manually after that. Disk space added after you extend a virtual disk is unallocated. Virtual disk size can be increased while a virtual machine is running. However, you may need to reboot a VM for the operating system to detect the resized disk. To be resized, a virtual disk must not have snapshots.
If your virtual machine has snapshots, delete them before you resize a virtual disk and adjust disk partition size. It is recommended that you back up your VM before doing operations with disks.
Changing disk partition size may be risky if you make a mistake during the configuration process. In this section, I explain how to extend partitions in Linux after expanding virtual disks. There are different methods to adjust disk partition size and extend Linux partitions.
You can use the command line tools or tools with the graphical user interface. I have a thin provisioned virtual disk Ubuntu The file size is displayed in bytes in the command line. Run the command to expand a virtual disk from 20 GB to 30 GB. Enter the virtual disk target size that you want to have — not the size of the increment you want to add to the virtual disk. In my example, I increase the size of my GB virtual disk to 30 GB by using the command like below:.
Select a vmdk disk file, not -flat. Enter the needed disk size and virtual disk file according to your needs and configuration.
G means gigabytes, M — megabytes, K — kilobytes, T — terabytes, etc. If you want to have an eager-zeroed thick disk, use a command like this one vmkfstools -X 30G -d eagerzeroedthick vm-disk-name. Check the new size of the virtual disk:. New versions of Ubuntu have a built-in Disks utility with a user-friendly graphical user interface GUI that supports changing disk partition size with a few clicks.
Power on the virtual machine after extending your virtual disk, and boot Ubuntu Linux that is installed on the virtual machine.
Choose the appropriate item once the Disks utility icon is found and displayed. After resizing a virtual disk, Linux partitions are not extended automatically, and you see the unused unpartitioned space on the disk. If you have multiple partitions, you can change the size of those partitions in the Disks utility. In the Resize Volume window, enter new parameters, such as partition size, free space following, or difference. As an alternative, move the slider from the current size to the desired size.
Then click the Resize button. Parted is a command-line utility to manage disk partitions in Linux. Parted is pre-installed in Ubuntu. However, if this utility is not installed on your Linux, install this utility manually from software repositories with root permissions.
Unmount partitions before doing operations with partitions in parted. Operations with unmounted partitions can harm the data on the disk. Use the umount command to unmount a partition, for example:.
I boot from the Ubuntu 19 live installation media in this example and select the Try Ubuntu option. Start a virtual machine. Do it promptly because you only have about one second to press F2. After finishing the installation of a guest OS, the virtual hard disk drive on which the guest OS is installed is automatically set as the first boot device of the VM. Save changes and exit go to the Exit tab. Once you run a command in parted , changes are written to the disk immediately.
Confirmation questions appear when you run commands to make changes with disk partitions. My unused disk space is between Enter the number of the needed partition whose size you want to increase. Enter the end size for the partition in my case, the partition starts at kB and must end at GParted is an alternative edition of parted with the GUI. This utility is free, just like parted. Download the ISO bootable image from the official website. If you boot from a Live CD with GParted , you can resize partitions on different Linux distributions, including Linux distributions without a disk partitioning utility that resizes partitions on the fly.
You can also resize partitions on which Linux is installed when it is not possible to resize these partitions from the OS because the OS mounts and uses them for regular operation.
Select your language. I select 33 US English. Step 2. Once 7zip program has been installed on your computer, then you can extract ISO files with 7z command. Here we add the ubuntu ISO image.
