Extending the Disk space on Vmware running linux

zaq.1

If you have not allocated enough disk apace when you wanted to install linux on VMware and you have lots of tools installed, don't worry, just read the below article. It is so easy and fully working for me. Tested on Red Hat Enterprise 6.

Remember that you should enter as root not normal acccount.

Open a terminal window and enter the commands one by one.

if you get to the point that you want to enter "vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sda3" don't enter it istead use
"vgdisplay -v" command to see list of your volume groups and find your favorite. For example for me I should enter
"vgextend vg_z123 /dev/sda3"

I mean VolGroup00 in my VMware is vg_z123.

and instead of entering "lvextend /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /dev/sda3" I used "lvextend /dev/vg_z123/lv_root /dev/sda3"


Other commands should be exactly entered like the article.
