Want to swap the booting disk showing in Linux VMware
Hi All,
This is my first question here and I am almost new to Linux. The background of my problem is...
I downloaded the Hadoop virtual machine(vmware) from Cloudera and there were some softwares that I wanted to install in that. However it(cloudera-demo-vm.vmdk) had the size of 4 GB only. Then I clicked on the hard disk portion of that virtual machine and it asked to clone a new virtual machine within same. So I did that and then the option to extend the disk was enabled in for the new vm(cloudera-demo-vm2.vmdk). I extended it to 10GB and it created the partition. I formatted and extended new partition(sdB, sdA was still showing 4GB) in Konquer utility.
But when I started my vm it still shows the same thing. when I give command "cat /proc/partitions" it shows me that there are sda, sda1, sda2 and had, hda1,hda2 partitions. Out of these one set is 4GB and another one is the extended on of 10 GB. When I see in "fstab" file it just shows 2 Label of ext3 and ext4 type. In which one of the label is same from which my linux vm starts.
Now if I go to Konquer disk partitioner utility it still shows two partitions sdA(4 GB) and sdB(10 GB).
My "fdisk" command doesn't return anything.
So I think if I can start the vm from extended partition it should work but how can I change that? If my understanding is not right then can anybody explain me what is happening here?
Thanks in advance guys !!
Amit
