VMware Virtual machine Ubuntu increases hard disk space

Android4.1 source out, nothing also want to download down to see, the results of the tragic discovery of the virtual machine to Ubuntu allocated hard disk space is too small, the remaining 2.7G. In the official documentation: the source download is approximately 6GB in size, which indicates that the source code size is around 6G, and has to mount a 20G hard drive for Ubuntu in the VMware virtual machine.

(1) Increase the virtual machine hard disk.

First, open the setting inside the VM inside VMware. Such as:

Enter the Setup screen:

Select Hard Disk and click Add below:

Click Next: Select Create a new virtual disk

Then select Next and choose SCSI for the hard drive type.

Continue next to set the hard disk size:

Continue: Specify hard disk files

This is the first to create a 20G hard drive, but Ubuntu does not recognize it. You have to format the hard disk, and then hang it on Ubuntu to tell him to launch the new partition on Mount.

(2) format the hard drive in Ubuntu and re-mount the new folder.

Inside the command line:

A) #sudo fdisk-l

View current Ubuntu disk information and discover that the newly added hard drive (/DEV/SDB) has not been partitioned

b) Partitioning the/dev/sdb to get/DEV/SDB1

D) Mount the newly created partition in the specified directory (for example, create a/home/download directory)

Mount/dev/sdb1/home/download-t ext4 where home/download is replaced with an empty folder you want to mount. So we find download This folder, we will find that it has nearly 20G of space, mounted successfully.

For example, execution df-h will see

[email protected]:~$ df-h
file system capacity has been used with available% mount points
/dev/sda3 19G 8.6G 9.1G 49%/
udev 486M 4.0K 486M 1%/dev
tmpfs 198M 812K 197M 1%/run
None 5.0M 0 5.0M 0%/run/lock
None 495M 152K 495M 1%/run/shm
/dev/sda2 485M 47M 415M 11%/boot
/dev/sdb1 20G 733M 20G 2%/home/download
[Email protected]:~$

e) To avoid re-mounting the/DEV/SDB1 partition after each reboot, we can modify the/etc/fstab file directly and add the following to the last line:

/dev/sdb1/home/download Auto RW 0 0

save exit, reboot after

[email protected]:~$ df-h
