Once again let’s check if the partition size increased. The filesystem on /dev/sda2 is now 2620923 (4k) blocks long. To write new table to disk and exit enter w:Īnd reboot the VM: # reboot Resize File Systemįor the final step increase the file system with command resize2fs: # resize2fs /dev/sda2įilesystem at /dev/sda2 is mounted on / on-line resizing required You can see from output: “Created a new partition 2 of type ‘Linux filesystem’ and of size 10 GiB”. Last sector, +/-sectors or +/-size (4096-20971486, default 20971486):Ĭreated a new partition 2 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 10 GiB.ĭo you want to remove the signature? es/o: n On prompt: Do you want to remove the signature? es/o: enter n: Command (m for help): nįirst sector (4096-20971486, default 4096): Now enter n to add a new partition, then partition number 1.įor First sector, and Last sector leave default values and press Enter. To delete enter d, then chose Partition number 2: Command (m for help): d In our case we will delete 2 partition (/dev/sda2). Execute: fdisk /dev/sda # fdisk /dev/sdaĬhanges will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.īe careful before using the write command.Ĭhose p to print the partition table one more time and double check: Command (m for help): p To resize partition first we need to delete it then create a new one with a larger size. Now our disk size – /dev/sda is 10 GiB, and partition /dev/sda2 still 5G. Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes To fix that error read this article.Īfter increasing disk size to 5Gb execute the system command fdisk (for creation and manipulation of partition tables): # fdisk -lĭisk /dev/sda: 10 GiB, 10737418240 bytes, 20971520 sectors ).Īfter increasing disk size you may have a problem: “GPT PMBR size mismatch will be corrected”. First increase your VM (virtual machine) disk size from hypervisor (VMware, Proxmox. Lets use Linux lsblk or df -h or command to see system disk space usage # df -hįilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted onīefore increasing the Linux partition size you need increase disk size. In our example we will use Debian, but this method can be used on other Linux distributives also (Ubuntu, RedHat).īefore starting resizing the partitions, be sure to make a backup copy of your data! Preparation Тhis example is applicable for increase only for NON LVM partitions.
