1. Shut down your virtual machine system
Find the following content: select "Edit Virtual mache settings" and
click "Expand" to
expand the space of the virtual machine to "60G" (fill in the space according to personal needs). But it is not visible under linux.
2. Use the fdisk tool under linux to partition
Log in to your linux system as the root user and check the partitions of your system
# fdisk -l

根据提示信息可以判断出此系统的磁盘接口为SCSI，对应“sda”如果上面的红色字体是“hda”，那么此系统的磁盘接口为IDE对应“hda”所以我做一下操作：
# fdisk /dev/sda
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
sectors (command 'u').
Command (m for help): m //列出fdisk的帮助

a toggle a bootable flag
b edit bsd disklabel
c toggle the dos compatibility flag
d delete a partition
l list known partition types
m print this menu
n add a new partition

The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)

3. Our newly created partition /dev/sda3 is not LVM. So, use fdisk to change it to LVM
# fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): m
Command (m for help): t //改变分区系统id
Partition number (1-4): 3 //指定分区号
Hex code (type L to list codes): 8e //指定要改成的id号，8e代表LVM
Changed system type of partition 3 to 8e (Linux LVM)
Command (m for help): w
4. After restarting the system, log in to the system. (Be sure to restart the system, otherwise the new partition cannot be expanded)
5. Format the newly added partition
# fdisk -l
