I'm running Ubuntu Server as a virtual machine with VirtualBox in Windows. Because I've ran out of space I resized the virtual machine size from 6 GB to 8 GB. But those 2 GB appear as "Free space" inside the Ubuntu OS.
I suspect I have to use "parted" to reallocate the "Free space".
Typing parted
, then help
, shows a list of commands. I want to list all partitions first so I type print free
:
(parted) print free
Model: ATA VBOX HARDDISK (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 8590MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
32.3kB 1049kB 1016kB Free Space
1 1049kB 5638MB 5637MB primary ext4 boot
5638MB 5639MB 1048kB Free Space
2 5639MB 6441MB 802MB extended
5 5639MB 6441MB 802MB logical linux-swap(v1)
6441MB 8590MB 2149MB Free Space
So I want to append all Free space to number 1. How would I do that? I'm clueless :(
