The proper solution is cloud-initramfs-growroot:
it will expand on boot the latest disk partition consuming all the all
space that follows it.

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/cloud-initramfs-growroot

While you can resize the underlying disk, but extending the root
filesystem can be a bit tricky (It can be done locally with
virt-resize, but AFAIK oVirt does not provide a UI or an API to run it
after the image had been uploaded).

We typically just add an extra disk and mount it where we need extra space.

[ovirt-users] extending cloud Images in oVirt

[Artem Tambovskiy]

I have a question indirectly releted to Ovirt. I need to move one old setup
into VM running in oVirt cluster. The VM was based on on Debian 8.9, so I
took a Debian cloude image from
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/openstack/8.9.8-20171105/ uploaded it
into my cluster and attached it to VM. All looks good but ... the disk
shows only 2G and indeed ned more disk space. I tried to edit and add more
space - and it didnt work.

Any ideas how to extend those cloud images?

Regards,
Artem
