careful: the underlying partitions and filesystems need to first be

resized otherwise you will have data loss.



Note that this only resizes the disk as seen from the VM. The VM

itself might have some partitionning on top of that, and you might

need to do filesystem resizes underneath there, including LVM if

that's setup there as well. See [[lvm]] for details.

Note that if there's an underlying crypto layer, it needs to be

resized as well:



    cryptsetup resize $DEVICE_LABEL



In this case, the `$DEVICE_LABEL` is the device's name in

`/etc/crypttab`, *not* the device name. For example, it would be

`/dev/mapper/crypt_sdb`, not `/dev/sdb`.
