Storage Increase when Running On HyperV

[Jack Rabit]

Hi there Guys,

Ive spent the last two days trying to find something that describes how to increase my storage in Freenas when running on HyperV.

Ive already installed additional 2tb drives on the Host server and moved the VHD files to the new Drives, ive also increased the storage size for the vhd on HyperV.

I just cant get Freenas to see the new size, i know im doing something wrong (obviously) but dont know freenas well enough to know where and what to do.
Would someone please point me to something that would help me increase the drive space, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Wabbit

Were you able to resolve this? If not, which build version of FreeNAS (from System -> Information). Any errors in /var/log/messages when it fails?

Hi there,

thanx for the reply,

sadly had not been able to figure this out yet.

There are no failures, and its working.
the trouble is ive increased the VM's vxd size from 500gb to 1tb, so on the server side its all good.
its in freenas that it does not see the new aditional space. it still thinks it only has 500gb

SO i know in a normal server VM i need to extend the partition to include the new space so that the machine can use the additional space.
i just cant figure out how to do this in freenas, and have not been able to find a writeup or video on how to achieve this.

My Freenas Build version is : FreeNAS-11.1-U5

Here is the output for the log at /var/log/messages.
