Hi,
I need to increase the space in my root or volume. I have edited the VM with the added space, and when I look at the fdisk on the SLES server, I see the added space on the drive. Now I want to extend the partition. I tried the many ways of doing this and ran the command “resize2fs /dev/sda3,” but it did not resize. I got the message “The filesystem is already 15202560 blocks long. Nothing to do.”
I have pasted few command outputs below; please help me, I am feeling stuck here,
Also, in this system, there is no volume group created.
