After my virtual machine ran out of space, I made the mistake of resizing its hard disk without first reading up on how to do this correctly. As a result, it is unable to mount the hard drive, and I have lost access to files I was working on.



Details: I am using VMware Player 12 to run an Ubuntu 18.04 guest on a Windows 7 desktop. When I try to boot up the machine, it hangs with an error message "[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-uuid/[hdd_uuid].1fa3c.device."



I have read VMWare's instructions on how to increase a disk partition, but they don't seem to apply (the file system is ext3, but I am running Ubuntu, not RedHat or CentOS). I have read some of the docs on VMWare's VDDK SDK, but it seems to be oriented toward writing more elaborate programs, not just getting a VM operational again.



The last time I increased the HDD size, it was up and running with only a bit of configuration, but this time it won't even boot up. Where do I go from here?
