Expanding .VMDK file size for data volume

[tchuyev]

I'm using Surveillance Station that consumes a lot of storage space.

Disk capacity is now getting close to saturation.

 

Using VMware, I've easily managed to increase the virtual disk size that hold the precious data.

DSM Storage Manager is able to identify the new capacity... but is unable to expand the older partition with the new one.

Tried to use Gparted without success as dmraid is being used.

Any experience on how to retreive full disk space at the OS level? Thanks.

 

P.S. I'm using VMware Workstation 9.0.2 & DSM 4.2 Build 3211++ (repack 1.2)
