Hello Again,
Maybe somebody can advice me whats going wrong if I want to increase my stroage size. I stick in step 2e on Christians Workaround (special thx to him!). There isnt the message like shown in that “all space is in use.”
Please see also as shown below what I did. I cant see a mistake.
Additional informtation: the kopano machine run as VM under hyper-v. Maybe here is somethink different.
Step 2e from Christian:
Command (m for help): n
All space for primary partitions is in use.
This is the feedback which I get in step 2e:
Command (m for help): n
Partition type
p primary (1 primary, 1 extended, 2 free)
l logical (numbered from 5)
Select (default p):
If I type l for "logical Partition I get the followed feedback:
Select (default p): l
Adding logical partition 6No free sectors available.
Complete log from my excecution till 2e:
