vmware esx下linux系统的磁盘扩展,VMWare ESX Server下LINUX完美增加硬盘空间（LVM）（亲测成功）...

[root@*****~]# fdisk /dev/sda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to39162.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than1024,

and could in certain setups cause problemswith:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions ofLILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from otherOSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK,OS/2 FDISK)

#输入n，新建分区

Command (m for help):n

#输入P，主分区

#目前是sda第三个分区输入3

Partition number (1-4): 3

#敲回车，默认就行了(如果要分多个分区，这儿就制定数值)

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error16: (这里有个小报错，不用管它).

The kernel still uses the old table.

The new table will be used at the next reboot.
