Extend VirtualBox disk on Ubuntu 18.04 without LVM

virtualbox-extend-disk.md

After you increase drive's size through Virtual Media Manager, boot into Ubuntu (or connect via SSH) and run:

Verify that disk's size is not updated (also find your device path):

df -h

device path should be like /dev/sdaX, then run:

sudo growpart /dev/sda X
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdaX

after growpart it may ask you to fix disk's size entries, type "Fix".

You're ready! Verify that everything is now okay with df -h (reboot may needed)
