Expand disk space on Ubuntu 10.04 (VMWare Guest)
- by Jason Clawson
I need to resize the disk space of an ubuntu guest in VMWare Workstation. After using the expand disk utility in vmware workstation, I need to do some linux magic to resize the parition. I have searched and found a lot of posts about resizing it. Unfortunately I don't really understand it all that well. Can anyone help me out with this?
df -h gives me:
