I am using Ubuntu 9.04 in vmware for my programming purpose. I previously had 12GB of virtual harddisk, my partition scheme was as follows,
8GB Primary Partition for (/)
2GB logical extended partition for home
2GB logical extended partition for swap
Now I need 20 GB more space for my (/) Partition. So I added 20GB to my virtual harddisk so now, my partition scheme was as follows,
8GB Primary Partition for (/)
2GB logical extended partition for home
2GB logical extended partition for swap
20GB unpartotioned space.
can you please tell me is it possible to make my Primary partition (/) to 28 GB, If yes tell me how?
It would be great if you can tell me some GUI software, otherwise for commandline please elaborate little more. :)
Thanks.
Answer
You can increase the size of the virtual machine's disk capacity with the command-line tools provided with VMWare:
/usr/bin/vmware-vdiskmanager -x 28GB /path/to/VM_Name.vmdk
replacing /path/to/VM_Name.vmdk with the path & name of your virtual disk file.
Then, increase the virtual disk with a GParted bootable ISO (boot from it with the VM).
