Linux – How to get CentOS 5 to recognize an increase in drive space on the VM

VMWare / CentOS 5.x

My CentOS VM system was running low on space so a VMWare admin increased the storage space allocated to the VM. After powering off the system and restarting it, the OS is still showing the same old amount of space.

Can someone please advise on what specific steps I need to complete in order to have CentOS 5 recognize the new space? It's my understanding that I'll likely need to run a partitioning tool in order to incorporate the new space.

If it's helpful, here is the output of fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 12.8 GB, 12884901888 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1566 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Here's the contents of /etc/fstab:

Here is the output of the pvs command:

[root@foo ~]# pvs
  /dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found

Here is the output of the pvscan command:

[root@foo ~]# pvscan
