How to resize your VMs disk in Proxmox
This is an activity I infrequently do and consistently forget. I document it here only to spur my own knowledge, but if you find this useful that brings me immense joy.
Do as follows:
- Expand the disk in Proxmox via the UI. This can be done via the Hardware > Disk Action > Expand button.
- Reboot the VM
- SSH in, and run the following commands
$ growpart /dev/sda3
$ pvresize /dev/sda 3
$ lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
$ resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
Enjoy your newly acquired disk space!
