I've been using a Debian vm under Lima on OSX as a development environment and it's been working fine for a few months. I've filled the disk, and needed more space.
I was confused when limactl disk didn't show any output:
$ limactl disk list
WARN[0000] No disk found. Run `limactl disk create DISK --size SIZE` to create a disk.
NAME SIZE FORMAT DIR IN-USE-BY
I have disks:
$ ls -lhSn
total 195864888
-rw-------@ 1 502 20 100G 10 Apr 11:01 diffdisk
-rw-r--r--@ 1 502 20 328M 23 Jan 16:29 basedisk
$ qemu-img info diffdisk
image: diffdisk
file format: raw
virtual size: 100 GiB (107374182400 bytes)
disk size: 92.8 GiB
Child node '/file':
filename: diffdisk
protocol type: file
file length: 100 GiB (107374182400 bytes)
disk size: 92.8 GiB
Looking around there's some discussion on the steps required #1446 #1448. I went ahead and stopped my VM, rewized it with qemu-img, and started it back up. All was well!
qemu-img resize diffdisk 200G
WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'diffdisk' and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
Image resized.
(I assume if I'd use -t raw that wouldn't have warned me)

I didn't need to resize the partition, it was taken care of by systemd-growfs:
systemd[1]: Starting systemd-growfs-root.service - Grow Root File System...
kernel: EXT4-fs (vda1): resizing filesystem from 26181627 to 52396027 blocks

systemd-growfs[441]: Successfully resized "/" to 199.8G bytes (3584 bytes lost due to blocksize).
systemd[1]: Finished systemd-growfs-root.service - Grow Root File System.
I wanted to clarify that this was the correct procedure for Lima on OSX?
If so, it would be great to have something in the docs about it.
Thanks!
