Resizing partitions in QVMs

[zena...@danwin1210.me]

Hi,

I recently ran out space of xvdb on a QVM (while I still had plenty of
space on xvda), so I gave 10GB or so in Qubes Settings to the VM. But all
the new space went to xvda, and the space of xvdb didn't change.

I thought I should resize partitions, then. So I installed GParted. But
soon I realized that I couldn't resize system partitions in the VM, for
both of xvda and xvdb are used and therefore cannot be unmounted.

I have some experience resizing partitions in systems that don't have VMs,
in which case I'll load a system from USB drives to do so, but I'm not
sure how to do it in Qubes OS.

I've searched some tutorials about resizing partitions in VirtualBox VMs,
but I don't think it helps much.

So, the question is, how can I resize partitions in a QVM?

Best regards,
zenandart

In Qube Manager, use "Qube settings" for the VM that is out of space.
