I'm trying to resize my virtual hard disk, so I've cloned it, and right now I have two disks in my virtual machine.

I'm trying now to boot off the old virtual disk and then resize the new hard disk's partitions, but when I do pvresize complains that there duplicate physical volumes (PV) with the same ID (presumably because I cloned my disk).

What do I do?

Can i just change the ID of one of the physical volumes?

I have an Ubuntu virtual machine running in VirtualBox 2.2.4, and I created it on an 8gb virtual disk which is too small.

So, I am trying to increase the size of the disk. So far, I have done this:

1. Created a new larger virtual disk
2. Added the 2nd disk to the machine
3. Used CloneZilla to clone the first disk onto the 2nd disk
4. Removed the first disk
5. Booted up off the 2nd (larger disk)

But now I'm still stuck with an 8gb partition on my new 100gb virtual disk.

Whats the easiest path from here to having a 100gb partition? :) I gather GPart can resize partitions, but it doesn't seem to support LVM2 partitions, which mine seems to be.

thx
