Virtual CentOS 6.4 Server Expand Disk for Splunk Instance
As I'm sure there are other posts for this, I'm terrified to mess with disks in Linux as I'm very green. I've looked at one other post which suggests to run the following so I'm going to do the same. The drive provisioned originally had 400 gb, but currently has 500 gb allocated in vmware. Thanks so much in advance!
Code:
fdisk -l Code:
[root@uspk10splunk ~]# fdisk -l Code:
[root@uspk10splunk ~]# pvs Code:
[root@uspk10splunk ~]# vgs Code:
[root@uspk10splunk ~]# lvs Code:
[root@uspk10splunk ~]# df -h |
Welcome to LQ!
Is there a question? |
Oh I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to actually do the expansion from this point. All I pretty much know is the allocation portion from the VMware side.
|
yes, it's very scary but i've done it once without issue.

Thanks for the help. I've also found this article which is very helpful from the VMware side, in case anyone searches and stumbles on this later.

yes, basically exact same instructions in your link. fyi, a plain ext4 would be just as simple as the windows (use gparted to do the same drag-and-drop expansion).
