Increasing the LinuxVM disk space

• Open VMware Player or WMware Workstation, and select Linux VM.

• Make sure LimuxVm is turned off.
• Click "Edit virtual machine settings".
• Under Hardware tab, select "Hard Disk (SCSI)"

• Under the Utilities pull-down menu, select Expand
• Increase the "Maximum disk size (GB)" by the size of the swap space you want (e.g., for 100GB of swap, add 100GB).
• Click Expand

• Close the Settings GUI

The LinuxVM now has available the additional space (400GB in the example). The operating system needs to be reconfigured to use this space (next steps).
