Best instructions I’ve found. I was about to give up looking. Thanks!

I had a Windows 10 client, so after I rebooted, I needed to extend the specific drive using Windows partitioning tools.

Thank you for the clear instructions!

Please also include steps to make the added disk usable. From the lsblk command, note that the disk is 40GB but still usable is 19GB.

@Emmanuel,

Thank you for the information. I’ll look into disk resizing options for the VM. It’s great to know that it might not be necessary to shut it down for disk resizing. I appreciate your input!
