How To Extend LVM Disk For Linux Virtual Machine On VMware

In this video I explain how to increase disk space in Linux with LVM by first expanding the hard disk, creating a new partition, expanding the volume group and logical volume and then resizing the file system.

This video guide covers an existing (and more detailed) blog post I created which can be found here: http://www.rootusers.com/how-to-increase-the-size-of-a-linux-lvm-by-expanding-the-virtual-machine-disk/

Alternatively, you can also instead add a new disk rather than expand the existing disk as shown in this video by following these steps: http://www.rootusers.com/how-to-increase-the-size-of-a-linux-lvm-by-adding-a-new-disk/

  • 8 years old and still teaching clowns like me! Thank you sir!

  • 8 years ago. Used this today on RHEL 8 and worked fine!

  • This guy saved my ass but it was too late. I'd already deleted the /boot🤣

  • Great job on explaining things, hands down a life saver video found after 3 days of searching for this info!

  • This worked, but now that I think about it I should have just extended my lv instead of creating a separate partition since the spaces were consecutive.

  • I have had this video saved on my browser since 2019 , this is the best explanation I found out of 20 different videos I searched online kudo mate for creating this

  • We all know this video is 8 Years Old but helped me today
    Thanks Friend

  • I cheked so many online doc and videos, and this was by far the simpliest step by step video to follow. Ive never resized the hard drive and like many its a very stressful task to try to accomplish, especially when all the data is at risk. This guide was the best way since it created a new disk outside of the currently used one. Even with the ending of the two options for a newer system, Great video very much appreciated i only had 1% space left in a 5K daily visted website….

  • just come here to check mr Jarrod's first video ever

  • Can't thank you enough. Still a great and comprehensive video after 7 years. It worked like a charm wrt proxmox VM.

  • The video is super dope, the explaination is very clear. Way better than those half written instruction online.

  • Thank you! Still relevant and helpful! Your blog post also helped me be sure to get all the steps just right. I did run it against a test server first just for confidence but it worked as advertised!

  • Thank you for the tutorial, very clear and well explained!

  • Nobody else on the internet has been able to explain this as clearly as you have done. Worked in 2022 for my Ubuntu vm. Thanks!

  • Thank you! Still current and very helpful.

  • Thanks man great video….totally helped me out of a pickle

  • This video was very helpful, thank you for the easy to follow/logical steps

  • Thank you so much .. you are Amazing !! the video is very detail !!

  • Super helpful video. I did an Arch install recently and needed more space on my home partition. Worked like a charm.

  • Wow, I'm learning RHEL 8 on vmware workstation and while doing a lab today I run out of space as I started with 20 GB and wanted to expand to 30 GB. This video is exactly what I needed. Grateful for your great explanation & detailed steps.
