-------------------
Resize Disk Image

There are several disk images which can be easily extended.
But pay attention to the overall consumed space of your sparse disk images.

Resizing `root.img` Size
--------------------------
Resize Root Disk Image
----------------------
The safest way to increase the size of `root.img` is to do it for a standalone
VM (qvm-create --standalone) - which has its own root filesystem
(copy of template, instead of smart sharing).
But it should also work for a normal template (as long as changes in the
template between reboots didn't exceed 10G).
The safest way to increase the size of `root.img` is to turn your TemplateVM into a StandaloneVM. Doing this means it will have it's own root filesystem *(StandaloneVMs use a copy of template, instead of smart sharing)*. To do this run `qvm-create --standalone` from `dom0` Konsole.
Replace the size and the path (name) of the template as wished and run your
modified command:
### Resize a StandaloneVM Root Image
```
truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-21/root.img
```
In `dom0` Konsole run the following command (replace the size and path):
Then start your template or standalone VM and run:
~~~
truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/appvms/standalonevm/root.img
~~~
```
Then start Terminal for this StandaloneVM and run:
~~~
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot
```
~~~
after that shutdown the template.
Shutdown the StandaloneVM and you will have extended the size of it's `root.img`
Then you should have extended `root.img` in your VM/template
### Resize a TemplateVM Root Image
In `dom0` Konsole run the following command (replace the size and path):*Make sure changes in the TemplateVM between reboots didn't exceed 10G.*
~~~
truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-21/root.img
~~~
Then start Terminal for this TemplateVM and run the following:
~~~
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot
~~~
Shutdown the TemplateVM and you will have extended the size of it's `root.img`
