How to resize partition via command line?
I have Ubuntu installed on a VirtualBox VM.
How can I resize the Linux partition (not the virtual drive)?
I already performed the VM resize using VBoxManage modifyhd to resize the virtual drive, but I need to resize the Linux partition. I do not have a GUI to gparted, so I need to resize the partition from the command line.

If you use LVM:
1) Expand physical volume (sda3 replace by your partition name):
sudo pvresize /dev/sda3
2) Check free space:
sudo vgdisplay
3) Add space to logical volume (VG00/share replace by your LV name):
sudo lvresize –L -r 100G VG00/share
4) Check changes:
sudo lvdisplay
If you don't use LVM:
All below commands work for unmounted partition, so you should boot from another source, for example, from iso (liveCD image).
1) Change partition size: sudo fdisk /dev/sda3:
- remove old partition (
d) - create new one, bigger (
n) - write changes (
w)
2) Expand file system:
sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sda3
sudo resize2fs /dev/sda3
3) Reboot system, boot as usual.
4) Check partitions:
