Add ability to use non default storage size?

[zoeyronain]

Screwing around with the VM I managed to run out of space compiling Firefox, is there a way to ideally add more space to the current VM or do I need to nuke it and change something in the xcode project itself?

I discovered yesterday that the Ubuntu Server installation routine doesn't allocate the whole disk space to the root partition. So while the disk is set to 64GB the Ubuntu system only has a root partition of 30GB. You should be able to resize the root partition with the following:

sudo lvextend +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

I'll make a note to somehow provide a knob to twiddle to change the size of the disk (keep this issue open until I have added it ☺️)

sudo lvextend +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

The first command should include the -l flag and be sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
