Preface: We just started installing Ubuntu on the virtual machine, always reluctant to allocate too much hard disk space. But with a long time to use the hard drive is not enough. One of the stupidest ways to do this is to reload the system, but it's time-consuming. It would be nice if you could add a hard drive without reloading the system. Here's how to implement it.
Two.
1. First of all, the Ubuntu shutdown.
2. Click on the menu in VMware vm-->settings
3. Click the Add button at the bottom of the hardware and select hard Disk-->next-->next-->disk size (GB) to be the new hard drive sizes-->next-->finish--> Ok. This way, in VMware's devices, a hard Disk 2 is a lot more.
Third, the next step is to enter Ubuntu, the new hard drive in the mount.

You can see one more/dev/sdb.
2.
The following is the format of the Ext3 file system
root@sparkle-desktop:~# mkfs-t Ext3/dev/sdb
MKE2FS 1.40.8 (13-mar-2008)
/dev/sdb is entire device, not just one partition!
Proceed anyway? (y,n) Y//format the entire new hardware without partitioning.

root@sparkle-desktop:~# Cd/home
root@sparkle-desktop:/home# mkdir Work
root@sparkle-desktop:/home# mount/dev/sdb Work//mount the hard drive to the work directory.
root@sparkle-desktop:/home# CD Work
root@sparkle-desktop:/home/work# ls
Lost+found
4.
Use the DF command to view the mount condition
root@sparkle-desktop:~# DF

See/dev/sdb 8322488 149632 7753428 2%/home/work
One, visible success.
5. Implement automatic mount mounting.
root@sparkle-desktop:~# Gedit/etc/fstab
Depending on the format below
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
We add ourselves:
/dev/sdb/home/work ext3 defaults 0 0
Reboot, which completes all the steps to increase the hard drive.
