Filesystem noch extending after extending virtual disk

  • Hi all,


    I'm having trouble resizing the filesystem after adding space to the virtual disk I've got attached to my OMV. Any ideas?


    OMV version: 4.1.17-1


    What has been attempted:
    Adding capacity to a virtual drive in ESxi 6.0
    -> I can see the new capacity being reflected in Storage -> Disks
    I have one filesystem ext4 covering the complete drive dev/sdb1.
    When I click Resize filesystem nothing happens and the filesystem still reads the old value (i.e. it has not been extended)


    Any advice is much appreciated! :)

  • did you find a answer someone I know is trying this on his esxi server as a test set the drive as 200gb and then assigned more in esxi but doesn't seem to want to extend to the new provisioned size.

  • You resized the disk but you probably haven’t extended the partition, the resize button doesn’t do that for you. You need to do this offline, means Fs unmounted.

    yes think found the answer elsewhere. Is this something that can be added into omv? Or is it allways going to be use somthing like gparted to extend the partition?
