Expand Ubuntu Filesystem on Hyper-V not going through
by eliassal from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HBCN)
can you please help in letting me know the steps needed to increase the size of ubuntu hard drive. It is VM, I increased the disk in hyper-V by 11G. Inside the VM, when I run PARTED Print I see
Code:~# parted GNU Parted 3.4 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print

Partition table entries are not in disk order.I tried growpart /dev/sda 1 I get
