I know this is old hat for most people in the *nix world, but I got asked to do a write up for this, so I figured I might as well post it here. Enjoy

Here’s a break down.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Assumptions.: In this tutorial, we’ve added space to a virtual disk in VMWare VCenter. This <\/span><\/span>tutorial also fully applies if you have extra space on a disk that is sitting unpartitioned. If you are doing this on a physical server, and adding a physical disk, the only adjustments made are the partition letters will change, say, from \/dev\/sdb to \/dev\/sde, etc. You’ll need to figure that out on your own.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

First, check space available with an fdisk \u2013l

Now there is 40GB added (39.99). We can extend the LV by that much. (use the number of Free PE instead of the size- that way you don’t get rounding errors and space that ends in the middle of a sector.)

Of course, now we need to extend the FS itself. This is the first thing we will have done that can actually be dangerous, so be careful. Unmount the volume and resize: \u00a0 **EDIT**-See note at bottom if your FS needs to stay online…<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

IF THERE has been recent improper shutdowns, reboots, disk snafu’s, or the disk has just reached it’s reboot count, it may prompt you to run a scan disk before it will let you extend the FS. If it asks, run the fsck and re-attempt to extend the LV. (this box did make me run it\u2026)

**EDIT**<\/span> When expanding the filesystem, it is assumed that the FS you are expanding is unmounted. You can extend a mounted (online) filesystem by adding the `-f` option to the resize2fs command. This also will skip the e2fsck if necessitated, but keep in mind, if the OS is asking you to run a scan disk, it’s probably a good idea to comply. Adding the space to an online filesystem is not “best practice”, but sometimes you just can’t take a filesystem offline and keep your job. Just an FYI… \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
