Linux fdisk "No Free Sectors Available"

$

0

I have increased the size of my virtual disk from 40 to 200GB. This is ext 4 on CentOS 6.6. 

I'm running

fdisk -l

and I get this:

 

fdisk -l

 

 

Disk /dev/sda: 214.7 GB, 214748364800 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 26108 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Then I run

fdisk /dev/sda

and select

"n" then

"p"

to create a new primary partition.  Then I get the message "No free sectors available".

This happens even though linux can see my virtual disk has been expanded to  200GB.

Why can't I create a new primary partition?

Thanks!
