Hi @Anonymous
You need to extend on operation system too, if you are using windows you need to go to disk manager and expand
Or run: diskmgmt.msc
Get in touch if you need more help with this issue.

Hi @Jackson Martins i have also done same with that but don't know why my extended space not able to resize to new volume. Here is it the screenshot of my OS too please?
@Anonymous
For OS disk, MBR limits the usable size to 2 TiB, If you need to store data on the OS disk and require the additional space, convert it to GUID Partition Table (GPT)

I had this issue too. Fixed it by right clicking the already allocated space and slecting Extend Volume:
From there, you can just click next a couple times and it will expand your allocated space to use the rest of your unallocated space. Don't change any values if you want to use all unallocated space.
@Jackson Martins If a disk is 4 TiB or less, you can't expand it beyond 4 TiB without deallocating the VM. If a disk is already greater than 4 TiB, you can expand it without deallocating the VM.
For more information refer to this article: How to expand virtual hard disks attached to a Windows virtual machine
If you have any additional questions or need further clarification, please let me know.

Thank you guys i think @Jackson Martins 's is right cause i have tried it through CMD as well but unfortunately my partition is about MBR which is causing issue to extend the disk. So Martin have any solution to convert it to GPT safely using 3rd party tool or without loosing data cause the file server is deployed on this vm?
