In searching, have you found
https://access.redhat.com/articles/1196333 for example?
My search foo is weak. I missed this. Thanks.
I've never had the need to do it. But if I did I'd first
practice on a VM. :-)
Well, I would have to put the drive in a USB/sata adapter and run this
on another system. That does seem reasonable.
Actually I have seen the resizing used a lot in the Fedora and CentOS
arm images. You dd the base image then resize them larger. I do this
frequently, so I can experiment with Fedora arm images first. Instead
of just enlarging, also reduce and move them.
Well, first put in an additional 4GB memory, then play around with
enlarging swap.
