简单记录一下给虚拟机添加新的磁盘分区的步骤。
首先关闭虚拟机，然后选择设置，添加硬盘，创建一个虚拟磁盘，选择SCSI类型，设置磁盘的容量，并指定保存的操作系统文件名称。
下面就可以启动虚拟机。
登陆到虚拟机，切换到root用户：

登陆到系统，新添加的分区不会自动加载，需要在linux环境下去手工mount，首先检查新增的磁盘在linux中对应的设备名称。
使用fdisk为磁盘分区建立分区表，并设置为Linux LVM类型。
下面仍然不能直接mount，否则会报错：wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1
需要使用mkfs建立文件系统，下面就可以通过mount命令来加载这个磁盘了。
如果需要系统重启后可以自动加载，需要将其添加到/etc/fstab文件中，在文件中加入下面的内容既可。
/dev/sdb1 /data1 ext3 defaults 1 2
