I have inctreased the size of my virtual HD from 79GB to 100GB on VMWare ESXi 4.1 Virtual Machine
http://screencast.com/t/j6Y2SmLES3P7
after that I have restarted VM but when I go to VM
[root@linxuph53]# vgdisplay
--- Volume group ---

I don't see that I got new UNALLOCATED space, so technically I can't expand my /home partition

any ideas?
after I rebooted VM and running fdisk -l
that's what I see

thanks, Dmitry
You'll probably need a reboot of the VM to reread the partition table. You could try the
partprobe
command to see if that reflects a change infdisk -l
output, but a reboot should definitely fix it.
