Proxmox VM Disk Resize

With resent database size issues on my Pi-hole cluster, I had discovered my usual method of resizing partitions in a VM did not work so thought I would note the steps I took to resize the VMs Disks for future reference

• In Proxmox select hardware for the VM in question
• Highlight the Disk needing resizing
• Select disk action drop down menu and click resize
• Enter in how many GBs to add to the VM
• Shutdown the VM
• Start the VM as normal
• Shell into the VM
• Run sudo fdisk -l to list all the partitions on all the disks
• Run sudo parted /dev/"the disk needing resizing"
• Now in the parted run resizepart "number of partition" eg resizepart 2 if the partition was 2 on device sda /dev/sda2
• If all the space added to the VM disk is for this partition type 100% and press enter
• type quit and press enter
• Run sudo resize2fs /dev/"partition device id" eg /dev/sda2
• The process is now finished, and the space is useable, if the disk doesn't appear resized then the user out and back in and run df -h, and it will now be correctly resized
