Step 1: Open
VMware. Select “Edit virtual machine settings”
Step 2: Now click on Add… button.
Step 3: Select “Hard Disk” then “Next”.
Step 4: Independent option can be
check according to the need. Here I am keeping unchecked.
Step 5: Change hard disk size
according to need.
Step 6: Start
the Virtual machine.
Step 7: Open terminal and find
out new raw partition name, as below (In my case it is /dev/sdb)
Step 8: use fdisk /dev/sdb to
create new partition.
Step 9: We created the partition
called /dev/sdb1.
Create one directory under root
mount point.
#mkdir /d01
#mount –t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /d01
O/P Before mounting /d01 filesystem
O/P After mounting /d01 filesystem
NOTE: Be careful while editing /etc/fstab entries. It will cause boot problem (If in-case follow the link solution)
To make it auto mount during the
server boot add below entries to /etc/fstab file.
Eg.
/dev/sdb1 /d01 ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb1 /d01 ext3 defaults 1 2
Command for unmounting the /d01
mount point
Command to mount: mount /dev/sdb1
