aDoN's questions

I had a 30 GB machine and I run out space. Then, via the VMWare Workstation GUI, I have extended that space.

It got to "unallocated space" at first, then I tried to extend it with gparted, but no luck, there is not option to resize it.

Then, I have tried this:

https://www.joomlaworks.net/blog/item/168-resizing-the-disk-space-on-ubuntu-server-vms-running-on-vmware-esxi-5

But I got no output from:

vgdisplay

So I cannot extend it.

I have tried manually to do:

pvcreate -ff /dev/sda3
vgcreate "name" /dev/sda3
vgextend name /dev/sda3

but got:

  Physical volume '/dev/sda3' is already in volume group 'name'
  Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda3' to volume group 'name'
  /dev/sda3: physical volume not initialized.

Seems like a rathole =/
