Hello
Initially I created my devian VM with 30G disk, and resize to about 212G in GUI.
But the increased size has not been reflected actually.

I searched some articles and tried "lvextend" command, but failed.

How do I do?
Please help me.
Thanks.
 
Hello!

Hello. The lvextend command will not help in this case, since you do not have LVM.

In your case you need:

1. Turn off swap (swapoff /dev/sda3)
2. Remove swap partition
3. Expand the root partition (for example you may see this guide https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-resize-ext4-root-partition-live-without-umount or https://support.tools/post/online-resize-of-a-root-ext4-file-system/)
4. Create (if needed) a new swap partition (or swapfile)
5. Expand the root file system (resize2fs /dev/sda2)
