PuffinDoctor Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have a 16.04.2 Ubuntu Server running in a VM on my 6.5.2 unRAID Server. The VM was formally set at a 50G cap but I figured out how to expand that on the webgui to 200G. Now the Ubuntu VM is still complaining about not having enough space so I need to re-partition the drive in the VM to utilize the added space. The partitioned needing to be expanded is set up as LVM if that matters.  I know a drive needs to be unmounted before it can be re-partitioned so is there a way to boot a live iso, such as the GParted Live bootable image, in unRAID like there is in virtualBox for example?  I don't know what all to list here so I can provide information about the VM and partitions as needed.  Thanks Link to comment
ken-ji Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You shouldn't need to. In pseudo code: create a new partition on the disk reboot pvcreate <new partition> vgextend <volgroup> <new partition> lvresize <lvm> the reboot is necessary because you resized your disk image, and now need to add a partition If you added a new vdisk, you can skip step#2 Link to comment
