[Sol10/VMWare] Unable to see new disk space.

BOFH · #1 (**permalink**) 09-05-2008

The master copy was set to 5 gigs. As the instance is cloned, additional space is provided. I was given a new instance along with 15 gigs of additional space. The problem is I can't see the additional space, either as additional space on the primary disk or as a second disk.

Code:

# format

  9 unassigned    wm       0               0         (0/0/0)          0

I've used devfsadm with -c disk and -v and also touch /reconfigure, reboot but the new space isn't available. I checked with the vmware admin (a windows guy) and he's assured me he assigned the 15 gigs to my instance and that there's nothing else he needs to do.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
