SOLVED: disk size by the guest not increasing

[vmalep]

Hi,

I have an Ubuntu server running as guest (on the Linux Mint host) with VB 7.0. The virtual size of the root VDI disk is 20Gb and the actual size, 9,4Gb.

The Ubuntu server consider the disk size as 9.8Gb and it indicates that the disk is nearly full (it has reached 100%, but I have cleaned the cache):
Output of "df -h":

Code: Select all

/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv  9.8G  8.3G 1009M  90% /

How am I supposed to let the guest know that the disk has in fact a total size of 20Gb????

I have been looking around on internet for a while, plenty of post explaining how to increase the virtual size, but nothing about this problem...

Thanks in advance for your help,
Pierre

It is actually related to the use of LVM...
