having problems expanding the space of one partition on a disk

I currently have a VM which has 50 GB of space. I increased it to 100 GB and booted the Ubuntu Live CD.

I did the following

  1. Deleted the partition /dev/vda1
  2. Readded it with all blocks
  3. resize2fs /dev/vda1 and it did it's job
  4. rebooted

Now, df -h shows me it's still 50 GB. Is there anything I missed? The /dev/vda disk is 107 GB.

Solution 1:

Is there another partition that is adjecent to partition #1. I ask because you can only expand (in place) if the area is contiguous to what was there before. You might want to show the fdisk for the disk /dev/vda.
