Hi,

Have an alpine 3.13.5 VM (on KVM) that is acting as my private docker
registry but has run out of disk space. I know how to grow the qcow2 disk
image to create more space s.t. the partition can be expanded. I know how
to do this using something like cfdisk tool. However, this doesn't prep the
filesystem to expand to the expanded partition, right ? Any suggestions on
how to go about it ?

regards,
B

Hi, 
how is it installed/docker image created?
Some/most filesystems can expand in mounted state with its utils like https://linux.die.net/man/8/resize2fs.
Hope it helps.
