Hi,

I started an Almalinux 8 with Lima set at 10GB. Then I changed the size to 30GB, and restarted. But the size remains the same after I ran xfs_growfs. Earlier I saw an issue where this is doable in Alpine: issue 1103

$ limactl ls tools

Any suggestions?

Did you also extend the partition, before growing the file system ?

EDIT: It seems to have been more about the disk image, than fdisk

qemu-img resize ~/.lima/almalinux-8/diffdisk 30G

limactl edit --set='.disk = "30GiB"' almalinux-8

That works. I forgot that this is qemu-thing rather than RHEL related partition.
Thanks @afbjorklund

I think that truncate should be able to do it, but it needs to be verified first.

After using truncate -s 20G diffdisk , the VM fails to start and keeps reporting the error.
