How to extend partition in Ubuntu server

[trungdam]

Hi everyone,

I have a 20G disk and want to resize it to 25G
I added 5G and used parted command to fix the partition and parted got 25G but then I mount it in my folder and check with df -h command the disk size is still 20G, I'm very confused confused, I don't know if it will receive enough 25G.

You do not specify which filesystem you used inside the VM, but maybe some guide like this can help?
EDIT: Be careful because you can destroy you virtual disk (make backups!) and make sure you have the right guide for your filesystem/partitioning type.
