Resize your VMWare Disks on CentOS

-
  1. Modify you VM settings and increase the hard disk size for example add an additional 10GB.
  2. Boot system
  3. Run fdisk and recreate partition #2
  4. fdisk /dev/sda2
    1. Issue the following commands
    2. D
    3. 2
    4. N
    5. P
    6. 2
    7. <enter>
    8. <enter>
    9. t
    10. 2
    11. 8e
    12. w
  5. Reboot System
  6. lvm pvresize /dev/sda2
  7. lvm pvdisplay # Take a note of the free PE (physical extents)
  8. lvm vgchange -a y
  9. lvm lvdisplay  # Take a note of logical volume
  10. lvm lvextend -l +320 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
  11. resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00

You will need to tweak as  you go along.  In some examples above on the web, some people don’t do any reboot after step 4, but I needed to do a reboot.  Also after step 9ome people run an e2fsck, when ever I did this step 10 failed
