If you do not have space for another partition then you will need to consider a different method, there are some others in the above list. Prerequisites: As this method uses the additional space to create a primary partition, you must not already have 4 partitions as you will not be able to create more than 4. It could also be worth cloning the virtual machine first and testing out this method on the clone.
Note that a snapshot must not be taken until after the virtual disk has been increased, otherwise you will not be able to increase it. If you are working with virtual machines make sure you take a snapshot of your virtual machine beforehand, or otherwise have some other form of up to date backup before proceeding. Important Note: Be very careful when working with the commands in this article as they have the potential to cause a lot of damage to your data.
Update : I have created a video guide of this post in CentOS 7 shown below.
How to Decrease the size of a Linux LVM – In this article the file system is shrunk followed by the LVM, allowing you to reclaim space in the volume group.How to Increase the size of a Linux LVM by adding a new disk – In this article a new virtual disk is added to the virtual machine, a new partition is created, the volume group and logical volume are both expanded and then the filesystem is resized.Use GParted to increase disk size of a Linux native partition – In this article the virtual disk is expanded, however there is no LVM here just a Linux native partition that is expanded with the GParted live CD.This will involve creating a new partition with the new space, expanding the volume group and logical group, then finally resizing the file system.Īs there are a number of different ways to increase disk space I have also posted some different methods here: Once this is complete we will get into the virtual machine and make the necessary changes through the operating system in order to take advantage of the additional space that has been provided by the hard drive being extended. Firstly we will be increasing the size of the actual disk on the VMware virtual machine, so at the hardware level – this is the VM’s. If you hit a problem or have feedback, leave a comment below.This post will cover how to increase the disk space for a VMware virtual machine running Linux that is using logical volume manager (LVM).
The USB drive will auto mount when you insert it, but in case the auto-mount fails you will have to mount the drive manually You have learned how to enable support for the exFAT file system on your Ubuntu 18.04 machine.
That’s it! You can now open your file manager and click on the USB disk to mount it.
Once the repository is enabled update the packages index and install the exfat-fuse and exfat-utils packages using the following commands: sudo apt update sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils Open your terminal either by using the Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut or by clicking on the terminal icon and type: sudo add-apt-repository universe Module and tools which provide a full-featured exFAT file system implementation for Unix-like systems.īefore installing the packages make sure the Universe repository is enabled on your system.
To be able to mount exFAT filesystem on Ubuntu you’ll need to install the free FUSE exFAT How to Mount exFAT Drive on Ubuntu Linux # The same instructions apply for Ubuntu 16.04 and any other Ubuntu-based distribution, including Kubuntu, Linux Mint and Elementary OS. In this tutorial, we’ll explain how to enable exFAT support on Ubuntu 18.04.
