Ubuntu: Resize the root LVM(2?) partition
- by user12259
I have an Ubuntu virtual machine running in VirtualBox 2.2.4, and I created it on an 8gb virtual disk which is too small.
So, I am trying to increase the size of the disk. So far, I have done this:
Created a new larger virtual disk
Added the 2nd disk to the machine
Used CloneZilla to clone the first disk onto the 2nd disk
Removed the first disk
Booted up off the 2nd (larger disk)
But now I'm still stuck with an 8gb partition on my new 100gb virtual disk.
Whats the easiest path from here to having a 100gb partition? :) I gather GPart can resize partitions, but it doesn't seem to support LVM2 partitions, which mine seems to be.
thx
