Increasing root partition size

[cparker_RCT]

I have a test environment setup where I initially configured the KVM drive image at 16G (yes, I know it's below minimum requirements) but it raises a question as I just tried to expand the volume on the VM host, but due to the way the system was built from the pre-made ISO image it does not have LVM configured on it and I cannot grow sda1. (I'm just being thick and can't figure out how to grow the root partition)

Would it be smart to have the pre-built image use LVM to prevent this kind of issue in the future?

The general approach by 3CX has alway been - backup and restore - to a new system. In the case of Virtualization that is a snap, especially with the Linux ISO used to build a new system.Unless your a daily Linux driver - thatis the best way to get to a larger drive.

And I can totally understand that - just coming from a Linux background with LVM. Grow your disk, grow your partition
I suppose I could just install 3CX on top of a Debian install versus the pre-built image.
