Extended VM Disk In VirtualBox or VMware (虚拟机磁盘扩容)

First, Clean VM all snapshot, and poweroff your VM.

vmdk:

vmware-vdiskmanager -x 16GB myDisk.vmdk

vdi:

VBoxManage modifyhd <absolute path to file> --resize <size in MB>

And now, go to guest OS to resize partition.

I have only one partition, and it's root partition. You can use LiveCD do this. However, You alse use fdisk and resize2fs, that support online mode.

fdisk /dev/sda

Delete old partition, and create new partition you want. Last, write to disk, reboot your VM. Then run:

resize2fs /dev/sda1

Now, you can check your partition size.

df -h

P.S.

I find Shell script on raspi-config. It's a script it is used for expand root filesystem on SD card.

#.......
do_expand_rootfs() {
  if ! [ -h /dev/root ]; then
    whiptail --msgbox "/dev/root does not exist or is not a symlink. Don't know how to expand"
    return
  fi

  ROOT_PART=$(readlink /dev/root)
  PART_NUM=${ROOT_PART#mmcblk0p}
  if [ "$PART_NUM" = "$ROOT_PART" ]; then
    whiptail --msgbox "/dev/root is not an SD card. Don't know how to expand"
    return
  fi

  # NOTE: the NOOBS partition layout confuses parted. For now, let's only
  # agree to work with a sufficiently simple partition layout
  if [ "$PART_NUM" -ne  ]; then
    whiptail --msgbox "Your partition layout is not currently supported by this tool. You are probably using NOOBS, in which case your root filesystem is already expanded anyway."
    return
  fi

  LAST_PART_NUM=$(parted /dev/mmcblk0 -ms unit s p | tail -n  | cut -f  -d:)

  if [ "$LAST_PART_NUM" != "$PART_NUM" ]; then
    whiptail --msgbox "/dev/root is not the last partition. Don't know how to expand"
    return
  fi

  # Get the starting offset of the root partition
  PART_START=$(parted /dev/mmcblk0 -ms unit s p | grep "^${PART_NUM}" | cut -f  -d:)
  [ "$PART_START" ] || return
  # Return value will likely be error for fdisk as it fails to reload the
  # partition table because the root fs is mounted
  fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 <<EOF
