(aim: to increase root filesystel /, from 3.3GB to about 6GB)
Summary:
-make the vmdk bigger,
-use fdisk to increase the partition,
-use pvcreate/pvresize to increase the PV,
-use lvextend/lvresize to increase the LV then finally,
-use resize2fs to expand the filessytem
Make vmdk bigger
Make vmdk bigger using any vm client (vitualcenter etc) e.g.
If you have ESX 3.5 or newer:
1. Open VMware Infrastructure Client and connect to VirtualCenter or the ESX host.
2. Right-click the virtual machine.
3. Click Edit Settings.
4. Select Virtual Disk.
5. Increase the size of the disk.
using fdisk
