Draft
This article is a draft. It only tells you how to increase a disk, and only if the disk is partitioned in a certain way. Also not tested by anyone else yet. (other then by the author of this article: Wouter)
Intro
This is for increasing a disk's size. These steps only work if the root partition is at the end of the disk. (The automated install config/preseed ensures this)
Step 1
To increase the disk 'physical' size:
- On Proxmox web gui: select disk, click the 'Disk Action' dropdown and select 'Resize'
- Fill in the size to increase the disk with
Step 2
To increase the disk partition:
- In the VM, first get the partition table for info (Assuming the disk is /dev/sda) with `fdisk -l /dev/sda | grep ^/dev`
Output should something like this:
- Resize using 'parted':
* parted /dev/sda * print * resizepart 2 100% * quit
This is assuming that you need to resize /dev/sda2 (which the 'print' will help you determine)
Step 3
To increase file system's size:
- 'resize2fs /dev/sda2' (Assuming you need to increase /dev/sda2)
