All you really need to do is boot the server with a live CD (Ubuntu works well) and load up gparted. From there just click on the drive and pull the slider into the free space. Once happy, just click apply. This may help: https://www.howtogeek.com/114503/how-to-resize-your-ubuntu-partitions/ As long as you don't click Apply, no changes are made. So if you get worried or mess something up, just reboot without clicking Apply. This goes without saying, but just in case; always have a backup (even if it's a professional you've hired).

We've already changed the vm size to 60 gig but I don't feel comfortable running the steps I found on google to resize the actual physical partition. Is anyone willing to do this for us remotely for a fee? We'd be happy to pay you to do it - especially if you've done it a few times before (cause we haven't) Let me know off list. thanks :) </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
