Скачать или смотреть Do you know, how to extend disc space of VM?

In this quick video, learn how to extend virtual disk space in VMware and use the extra capacity inside the OS:

1️⃣ *Expand the virtual disk*
Power off the VM and ensure *no snapshots* are present—snapshots block resizing :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
In VMware Workstation/ESXi/Fusion, go to VM settings → Hard Disk → *Expand/Resize* and choose the new size :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

2️⃣ *Make the space available*
Boot the VM
In *Windows**: open Disk Management → rescan disks → right-click the partition → **Extend Volume* :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
In **Linux**: use commands like `lsblk`, `growpart`, and `resize2fs` (or GParted live CD) to grow the partition and filesystem :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

✅ Tip: Always *backup or snapshot* before resizing to avoid data loss.
