How to expand the root partition size in vmware virtual machine, I believe many inexperienced people are helpless about this, this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem, through this article I hope you can solve this problem.

Disk resizing via vmware software after VM shutdown

Add a new partition via fdisk fdisk /dev/sda ->m->p-> Enter-> Enter->w

3. Format new partition mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3

4. Use lvm to extend partitions

(1)lvm->pvcreate /dev/sda3 //create pv

(2)lvm->pvdisplay //view root partition VG Name, here I am "centos"

(3)Add the new partition "/dev/sda3" to the VG Name "centos" of the root partition. vgextend centos /dev/sda3

(4)lvextend -L +83.9G /dev/mapper/centos-root //"/dev/mapper/centos-root" Mount disk nodes for root directory

(5) resize2fs dev/mapper/centos-root

[root@localhost ~]# resize2fs -f /dev/mapper/centos-root

resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block

(6)If step (5) fails. View root node system type cat /etc/fstab| grep centos-root

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/fstab |grep centos-root

/dev/mapper/centos-root / xfs defaults 1 1

Execute the xfs extended partition command: xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/centos-root
