If you don't have enogh space on your virtual machine you can ask for more.
After a request has been made an administrator can extend your HDD.
If the request is granted you have to manually rescan
and extend a logical volume on your machine to acquire the extra space.
To do so you need root access/administrator rights.

You can check how much free space is left on your machine
(on Debian based distributions like Ubuntu) with the
<strong><code>df -h</code></strong> command.
As you can see below we need more space on
<strong>/</strong> so we will extend
<strong>/dev/mapper/cloud–x–vg-root</strong>.
