Extended VM Disk In VirtualBox or VMware (虚拟机磁盘扩容)

First, Clean VM all snapshot, and poweroff your VM.

vmdk:

vmware-vdiskmanager -x 16GB myDisk.vmdk

vdi:

VBoxManage modifyhd <absolute path to file> --resize <size in MB>

And now, go to guest OS to resize partition.

I have only one partition, and it's root partition.You can use LiveCD do this. However, You alse use fdisk and resize2fs, that support online mode.

fdisk /dev/sda

Delete old partition, and create new partition you want. Last, write to disk, reboot your VM. Then run:

resize2fs /dev/sda1

Now, you can check your partition size.

df -h

P.S.

I find Shell script onraspi-config. It's a script it is used for expand root filesystem on SD card.

#.......do_expand_rootfs() {  if ! [ -h /dev/root ]; then    whiptail --msgbox "/dev/root does not exist or is not a symlink.

Don't know how to expand" 20 60 2    return 0  fi  # NOTE: the NOOBS partition layout confuses parted. For now, let's only   # agree to work with a sufficiently simple partition layout  if [ "$PART_NUM" -ne 2 ]; then    whiptail --msgbox "Your partition layout is not currently supported by this tool.
