I'm running Ubuntu on Oracle VM VirtualBox. The VM was initially set up with 8GB of storage but now I've run out of space. I used VirtualBox's vboxmanage modifymedium function to resize the virtual disk, and I can see the unallocated space in GParted. Now I'm trying to extend the partition sda5 but I don't seem to get the option to extend it out into the unallocated portion of the drive. What am I missing here?

sda5 is a logical partition that exists inside sda2, so you need to grow sda2 first.
