After you have resized the disk in VMware, you will need to login as super user in Linux. Then check to see the size:

df -h

You should see the disk “/dev/mapper/ubuntu–vg-ubuntu–lv” as the one mapped as root, and is low on disk space.

Run the following (parted my not be needed, USE SNAPSHOTS!!!):

parted

>>resizepart
>>quit


lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

Now check:

df -h

Useful commands

lsblk /dev/sda
partprobe -s
unit s print free
