1) Login to the VM using SSH, we can check the size of the disk by using:sudo dmesg | grep -i sda
We should see something similar to the output below (assuming you changed the size to 100GB on the portal for the disk):
[ 3.100914] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 209715200 512-byte logical blocks: (107 GB/100 GiB)
2) To proceed with the partition resize, we will use: sudo fdisk /dev/sda
type: p
this will show partition /dev/sda1
type: d
type: n then p, 1 (to recreate partition 1) you can accept the default values
NOTE: if you receive a message about deleting or keeping a signature on the disk, just answer N
type: w (to save the new partition)
type: q (to exit fdisk)sudo reboot (to reboot the VM so the partition is updated)
3) To finalize the resize, after the reboot, execute the command: resize2fs /dev/sda1
4) Use the command: df -h to verify its size:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 99G 698M 94G 1% /
