growing partition size with a linux VM

[Gog]

Hi

 

Disclaimer: I've been a linux user for a few decades but I'm no admin by any stretch of the imagination.  This is on a Xubuntu VM I built a few  months ago.

 

I'm trying to increase the space allocated to the VM.  I did the resize like so:"qemu-img resize vdisk1.img +5G" and I modified the partitions with gparted so that I now have more space available in the partition.

 

But if I do df -h, the size of / is still at 8.5GB.  There is another 3GB free on that partition.  How do I make it usable in "/dev/mapper/xubuntu--vg-root"?

Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                          234M   12K  234M   1% /dev
tmpfs                          49M  872K   49M   2% /run
/dev/mapper/xubuntu--vg-root  8.5G  7.5G  621M  93% /
none                          4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
none                          5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                          245M  200K  245M   1% /run/shm
none                          100M   40K  100M   1% /run/user
/dev/vda1                     1.3G  443M  754M  38% /boot

 

 

lsblk

  └─xubuntu--vg-swap_1 (dm-1) 252:1    0     1G  0 lvm  [sWAP]

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks

Finally nuked the VM.  There wasn't much on it and a few other things were bugging me.  Starting fresh.
