Expand the disk capacity of the root partition of the ora16 Virtual Machine

Expand the root partition disk capacity (VMwareworkstation7) of the ora16 Virtual Machine 1. disable the Virtual Machine fedora16 and use the vmware Virtual Machine/settings/to expand the disk capacity (8 GB); 2. run the command parted-l/dev/sdaprint to check whether the disk space has been properly increased. 3. because gpora16 uses GPT, all partitions that use parted instead of fdisk create and add disk space (lvm): & nb

Expand the disk capacity of the root partition of the ora 16 Virtual Machine(VMware workstation 7)

1. Disable Virtual Machine fedora 16 and expand the disk capacity (8 GB) through vmware Virtual Machine/settings );
2. Run the commandParted-l/dev/sda printConfirm that the disk space has been properly increased;
3. Because gpora 16 uses GPT, all do not needFdiskUsePartedCreate a new partition for the disk space (lvm ):
