Resizing root virtual disk on the CentOS
Hello,

Can someone suggest me what I missing, I re-sized a root virtual disk to 30GB on the CentOS VM. After re-sizing the disk, I booted the OS and ran fdisk -list command I was able view the size of the disk as 30GB.

Paritions in the vm before I resize are:

/boot - Primary parition
/ and swap are logical volumes filesystem.

but when I ran pvdisplay command I see the same output, but not sure how to scan the additional size that I added to virtual disk and bring it under lvm.

Thanks,
