I've extended the virtual drive on VMware from 7 Gb to 8 Gb.
Rebooted my guest Debian with Gparted and extended the drive with the 1
extra Gb successfuly.
Rebooting again and starting my virtualized Debian I make a  fdisk -l and
it seems that the extra Gb is actually there.

Device     Boot  Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *      2048   499711   497664  243M 83 Linux
/dev/sda2       501758 16777215 16275458  7,8G  5 Extended
/dev/sda5       501760 16777215 16275456  7,8G 8e Linux LVM

But if I run df -h it seems that it is not.

/dev/sda1        236M    32M  192M  15% /boot

What's the problem?
Thank you very much for helping.

These are the underlying partitions...

and these are the filesystems built inside those partitions.

The next step is to resize the filesystem to fill the partition.

Each filesystem type has a specific tool to do that; for
ext2/3/4, the tool is resize2fs. Some filesystem types are not
resizable.

Use `mount` to figure out what filesystem types are in use.

A I had done the first part throught gparted there were only two commands
left for running:

lvextend -L +1G /dev/mapper/j0003--vg-root
resize2fs /dev/mapper/j0003--vg-root

Thank you.

The problem is that the installation uses LVM. At best, you only 
extended the "physical volume" (LVM container) in /dev/sda5. At worst 
you only extended the partition /dev/sda5.

Steps :

1) Extend the PV to the new partition size (will do nothing if not needed) :

pvresize /dev/sda5

2) Check available space in the "volume group" :

vgscan

3) Display "logical volumes" :

lvscan

4) Extend logical volume(s) as desired (assuming extN) :

lvextend -L <size> /dev/<vg>/<lv>

5) Resize filesystem(s) :

resize2fs /dev/<vg>/<lv>
