This article introduces the knowledge of "how to increase the hard disk of virtual machine ubuntu". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

Foreword: when we first install ubuntu on virtual machines, we are always reluctant to allocate too much hard disk space. But if it takes a long time, the hard drive won't be enough. One of the stupidest ways is to reinstall the system, but it takes time and effort. It would be nice if you could add a hard drive without reinstalling the system. Let's make it happen.

two。

1. Firstly, ubuntu shutdown.

two。 Click the menu VM-- > Settings in VMware

3. Click the Add button at the bottom of Hardware, and then select Hard Disk-- > Next-- > Next-- > Disk size (GB) is the new hard disk size-> Next-- > Finish-- > Ok. This adds a Hard Disk 2 to VMware's Devices.

Third, the next step is to enter ubuntu and put the new hard drive mount in.

Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk / dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table

You can see that there is one more / dev/sdb

two。

The following is formatted into the ext3 file system

Root@sparkle-desktop:~# mkfs-t ext3 / dev/sdb

Mke2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)

/ dev/sdb is entire device, not just one partition!

Proceed anyway? Y / / format the whole new hardware without partitioning.

Root@sparkle-desktop:~#

3.

Root@sparkle-desktop:~# cd / home

Root@sparkle-desktop:/home# mkdir work

Root@sparkle-desktop:/home# mount / dev/sdb work / / mount the hard drive to the work directory.

Root@sparkle-desktop:/home# cd work

Root@sparkle-desktop:/home/work# ls

Lost+found

4.

Use the df command to check the mount

Root@sparkle-desktop:~# df

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

/ dev/sda1 7913216 7803524 / 100%

Varrun 257788 240 257548 / var/run

Varlock 257788 0 257788 / var/lock

Udev 257788 48 257740 / dev

Devshm 257788 44 257744 1 per dev/shm

See / dev/sdb 8322488 149632 7753428 2% / home/work

One, it can be seen that it has been a success.

5. To start automatic mount.

Root@sparkle-desktop:~# gedit / etc/fstab

According to the following format

#

We add our own:

/ dev/sdb / home/work ext3 defaults 0 0

Restart, which completes all the steps to add the hard drive.
