Disk Management

Grow non-LVM ext4 partition

ATTENTION: Please note that the partition to enlarge has to be the last one with the free space after it.

SSH into the VM.

• run lsblk check if the disk size has changed
• if not reboot the virtual machine

In the following it is assumed that the partition to enlarge is /dev/sda2

• change the size of the partition with parted /dev/sda
• inside of parted run print free and check where the free space after your partition ends
• run resizepart and follow the instructions; End is the number you checked in the last step
• quit parted

Now you need to resize the filesystem with resize2fs /dev/sda2.
