I have the OTRS4 appliance running in ESXi 5. The /TARGET/SHARE mount
just ran out of space.
Is there any way to expand the drive or partition beyond the 4.0GB
that it started at?

I don't use the appliance, so I'm not sure what OS it is - from the
screen shots it looks like perhaps SuSE or something of that nature; so
I can't suggest specific commands.
For Linux in general (when using LVM), you could basically do the
following steps:
* Enlarge your virtual disk in VMWare
* Create a new partition on the disk, partitioning the additional
space from the enlarged virtual disk
* Add the partition to your LVM Volume Group
* Extend the Logical Volume containing your mount point
* Resize your filesystem to consume the additional space in the
Logical Volume
If you're not using LVM, it's a little harder. You'd need to actually
expand the partition, then expand the filesystem.
You could also add another virtual disk, instead of expanding the
virtual disk you have. The steps are basically the same, but adding
another disk would only work with LVM.
Another route, if that poses problems, would be to
1. Add a new virtual disk of whatever size you'd like.
2. Partition and format the disk
3. Mount the disk at a temporary mount point such as /mnt/temp.
4. Copy all of the data from your full mount point to the new mount
point (make sure to preserve ownership. I recommend using rsync -a).
5. Unmount the old mount point
6. Mount the new disk in its' place.
