Expanding VM Filesystem Size If the VM hits the size limit, but there is more space allocated, or you allocated the space. These steps will help with expanding the size of the volume. Checking the Size Check Disk Usage to see which disk is affected df -h Check volume group for free space sudo vgdisplay If there is no space, you will need to allocate more trough Hypervisor Expanding filesystem roof Extend logical volume sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv This will add remaining space to the root system Resize filesystem sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv Verify disk size and usage df -h / Fix GPT/ Partition Table If you run into problem where even after expanding filesystem roof it still stays at original number we might need to fix gpt/ partition table. Usually after running command below we would get following message. Check Disk size vs Partition Size sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda GPT PMBR size mismatch (67108863 != 134217727) will be corrected by write. The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device Fix GPT/ Partition Table sudo gdisk /dev/sda # Press 'v' to verify, then 'w' to write fixes Resize the partition sudo parted /dev/sda (parted) resizepart 3 100% (parted) quit Reload partition table sudo partprobe /dev/sda Resize physical volume sudo pvresize /dev/sda3 Check VG Free Space sudo vgdisplay Expand Logical Volume sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv Resize Filesystem sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv At the end verify to make sure its actually resized df -h /
