For example, one could consider adding a third disk (dev/sdc) to the NMIS VM and moving the /home directory to its own mountpoint on this third disk as an alternative to growing partitions on disk 1 (/dev/sda).For moving and resizing partitions
One should also keep in mind that moving or resizing the /boot partition [ fortunately at partition 1 on disk 1 (/dev/sdasda1) ] can cause the VM not to boot afterwards.
Since , the growpart command that we used on disk 2 (/dev/sdb) would in most cases not be the desired tool for this job as disk 1 (/dev/sda) has more than 1 partition.
GParted would probably be a more , GParted is probably a useful tool for achieving this job:
