I'm very new to Ubuntu, but willing to learn. I have a newly created Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS server VM with 2 disks (25G and 2.2T). The larger drive is an XFS drive and is going to be used for backups. When originally created it was a 500G drive, but we now want to expand that to 2.2T. I've done the easy part of adding the space within VMware, but now how do I get the OS to actually know there is 2.2T?
I've Googled like crazy and unfortunately it never seems as simple as with Windows server (a few clicks and you're done), so I'm hoping someone can point me the right direction. I have gathered the following I believe most people ask for, but if more is needed then I will collect that and post:
it_operations@dcbackup6:~$ lsblk

/dev/sdb 500G 152G 348G 31% /mnt/XFSData

Can someone give me the true steps that I need to do? I will make sure to take notes since we might expand the drive to over 40T after we finish our testing.
