Adjust parameters so that Ubuntu uses a new larger SSD?

**volkerbradley** · March 13th, 2014

Just installed a 960GB SSD. Previously had a 160GB SSD. After installing the new hard drive I restored Ubuntu 13.10 with a Conezilla image using the instructions at http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-liv...nced-param.php. I used option "-k1" to create the partition table proportionally in the target disk and turned on option "-r" to resize the file file system in the partition automatically. This is useful to make use all of the target disk size.
My entire hard drive is encrypted.
sudo fdisk -l | grep Disk
Disk /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 doesn't contain a valid partition table

Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1: 8577 MB, 8577351680 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
However, Nautilus displays that I only have 5.7 GB of free space as I had on the smaller SSD.
How can I make Ubuntu use the entire hard drive?

What does sudo parted -l tell you about the partition on this new SSD?

I have never used clonezilla but I suspect that the restored filesystem, (or is it partition?) is still the same size as the original and I am afraid I don't know how to enlarge it to the new size you want, unless it can not be done simply with gparted.
