This manual is made up of two parts. A first explaining how to perform this action using LVM and a second part without LVM

Increase to virtual machine disk size is very easy, on almost all hypervisor: just click and increase the space on the virtual disk. But it’s just one part of the game, the second part it does the same inside the virtual machine, and maybe it’s not so easy or fast increase the partition and the filesystem inside the related guest OS.
