Proxmox Increase the virtual Disk size of a VM

Support
1

I just want you to know how to increase the disksize of a Nethserver running under Proxmox.

For example we have a Nethserver with the Proxmox VM-ID of 106 and we want to grow the size from 500GB to 1000GB…

On the Proxmox CLI:
qm resize 106 virtio0 +500G

On the Nethserver CLI:
parted /dev/sda
resizepart 2 100%
quit
pvresize /dev/sda2
lvextend --resizefs -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root

It’s also in here, slightly different:

Hi @Andy_Wismer
your instructions have already provided me with valuable guidance in the past.
Now I have to increase the disk size for the Debian based NS8 machine under Proxmox 8.1. Do you have any experience with this?
Could you perhaps kindly create a guide for this?

The df is really confusing, but I think /dev/sda1 is the relevant.

But what about the overlay disks?

Hi Marko

I would need to check my instructions compared to NS8. Basically it works, but the detail might have some issues.

I will provide feedback.

Hi @capote

I just sent you a PR with a link.

It is working for sure as I did it a few days ago.
