From time to time one would want/need to resize the disk size of a Proxmox VM. This can be done fairly easy with some few steps.

Log into your proxmox

* find the wanted VM
* select hardware
* select Hard Disk
* click disk actions
* resize
* add the addtional GBs wanted

Log into the VM with ssh

sudo growpart /dev/sda 3 #(3 being the partion number)
sudo resize2fs /dev/sda3
sudo reboot

Now you have resized your VM harddisk.
