initialize expanded virtual disk...

[lorito]

Hi:

I had a 30 GB virtual disk... I expanded it to 40 GB using "Vmware virtual disk manager" (VMWare Virtual Disk Development Kit)... How can I initialize the added 10 GB without erasing the other 30 GB ?...

Sincerely,

Gonzalo Rojas Costa

See http://vmware-land.com/Resizing_Virtual_Disks.html for a few possible ways to do it.

Those mentioned resizing methods all requires booting into a virtual environment. It could still be done from the host in a non-virtual environment by using vdk from http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vdk.html .

When the disk is mounted rw, use any 3.rd party partioning tool capable of resizing partitions.
