如何扩大虚拟机的硬盘空间

nmzqzw

大家在使用vmvare安装虚拟机的时候,常发现空间不够用,这时,如果重新安装的话,太费时间,这里给大家一个技巧轻松扩展你的硬盘空间

1. 首先使用命令把最大空间限制改掉
  例: C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 10Gb f:\linux.vmdk

1). 将虚拟机空间扩展为10GB
2). 重建分区, 这样原来的数据不会丢失.
    #fdisk /dev/sda
    # n
    这里出现如下选项
    # e (extended)
      p (primary 1-4)
    这里我选p
    # 开始与结束的cylinder取默认值即可
    # w
  3).mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda3

  有些系统可能提示mkfs.ext2::no such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size
  这时用户需重启一下系统,再运行该命令
  编辑/etc/fstab文件，加入下面的内容
  /dev/sda3 /data ext2 defaults 1 2
  4).reboot

请参考如下的FAQ

I am using the VMware Virtual Disk Manager utility to expand the size of a virtual disk. The virtual disk is partitioned and the partitions do not get expanded. How can I expand the partitions?
Solution



If you are using the VMware Virtual Disk Manager included in GSX Server, VMware Server, Workstation, or ACE to expand the size of a virtual disk, and the virtual disk is partitioned, you will need to use a third-party utility to resize the expanded partitions.  This utility would be run from inside the guest operating system.

Note: VMware cannot endorse or recommend any third-party utilility, nor take responsibility for anything that may occur as a result of its use.  We recommend backing up your VM (or taking a snapshot) prior to attempting this.

Examples of third-party utilities include:

Windows DiskPart utility.

Note: If you are using the Windows DiskPart utility, it can only extend (expand) data volumes; if you use the DiskPart utility to extend a system or boot volume, you may get an error. For more information about extending partitions with the DiskPart utility, see
