I am having a problem installing Ubuntu Server on HyperV. &nbsp;When ever I try to make a disk larger then 136.9GB, it shows as 136.9GB. &nbsp;I cannot get larger then that. &nbsp;I have tried gparted to extend the disk after the fact, but then it wont boot anymore (errors in dmesg say that the disk is too large, truncating)<br />
<br />
I was trying to get to 200GB, and the only way I could was to take two 100GB partitions and LVM them together...<br />
<br />
Any ideas? &nbsp;This post seems to be directly related: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1873902" rel="ugc">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1873902</a>

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
