Shutdown vm and resize hard disk with VMWare to the desired size.
-
Figure out which partition to resize:
-
sudo lvdisplay% sudo lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/packer-ubuntu-14-vg/root LV Name root VG Name packer-ubuntu-14-vg LV UUID JdYIsh-wJZx-pOla-jpw3-T1Fm-XY21-fQCTPT LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time packer-ubuntu-14, 2014-08-14 09:34:29 -0500 LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 7.43 GiB Current LE 1901 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 252:0 --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/packer-ubuntu-14-vg/swap_1 LV Name swap_1 VG Name packer-ubuntu-14-vg LV UUID 1RkA1C-Dadv-t2t6-omX6-iqAu-YW6q-yxLUq6 LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time packer-ubuntu-14, 2014-08-14 09:34:29 -0500 LV Status available # open 2 LV Size 12.00 GiB Current LE 3072 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 252:1 -
Find the non swap volume and note
VG Namevalue. -packer-ubuntu-14-vg -
sudo pvdisplay% sudo pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda5 VG Name packer-ubuntu-14-vg PV Size 19.43 GiB / not usable 2.00 MiB Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 4973 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 4973 PV UUID jtpnCo-wiA7-SQK9-9arL-hAYs-dh7r-8IaDE0 -
Find the
VG Namefrom the previous step and note thePV Name--/dev/sda5this means partition 5 of volume/dev/sda

Resize the partition:
This entails first deleting the extended volume which owns the logical volume, recreating it, then recreating the logical volume.

Resize the physical volume:
sudo pvresize /dev/sda5 -
Resize logical volume:
sudo lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/packer-ubuntu-14-vg/root -
Resize the filesystem on the logical volume:
sudo resize2fs /dev/packer-ubuntu-14-vg/root -
See your handy work:
sudo df -h
List disks:
sudo fdisk -l
Show physical volumes:
sudo pvdisplay
Show volume groups:
sudo vgdisplay
Show logical volumes:
sudo lvdisplay
To show disk usage by mount:
sudo df -h
To show disk usage by directory:
du -hs /path/to/directory
-h is to get the numbers "human readable", e.g. get 140M instead of 143260 (size in KBytes)
-s is for summary (otherwise you'll get not only the size of the folder but also for everything in the folder separately)
