This post will cover how to increase the disk space for a VMware virtual machine running Linux that is using logical volume manager (LVM). Firstly we will be increasing the size of the actual disk on the VMware virtual machine, so at the hardware level – this is the VM’s .vmdk f...
For those seeking a solution to the problem of an Ubuntu guest running under KVM that doesn't recognize the new size of a raw disk after lvresize, Solution 4 is recommended. It can be found in the following resource: "KVM guest doesn't recognize new size of raw disk after lvresize". I...
I am running freenas (FreeNAS-11.2-U4.1) as a virtual machine under vmware esxi, which is hosted on a hardware raid system so there is no need to use another raid configuration inside the virtualized freenas. The freenas vm had two harddisks, an 8GB bootdisk and another 2.0TB for th...
