      @DustinB3403 did you resolve the issue where it wouldn't let you create another primary partition?

        part of thei ssue is partitions needing to be resized. You either have to grow the right partition which is often not an option or you need to let LVM handle it. In this case, just make a new partition, use pvcreate to add it under LVM, add it to the existing volume group then grow things as before.

        For some reason I thought I resized a disk and live root volume on a VM before. I guess I was dreaming.

        that it is a VM really isn't part of the equation 🙂

          @johnhooks no I tried again with Scott's help. I might just stand up a new fog server with a larger primary and go with that if it becomes an issues. (More than it is)

            My guess is that you are filling up the images location? Why not create a new drive with a large enough capacity and move the images over to it?

              @coliver yeah I am, but I didn't want to deal with the individual directories and moving the images etc. within fog.

                Just make a new partition, don't worry about extending the existing one.
