Occasionally we will deploy a virtual instance into our KVM infrastructure and realize after the fact that we need more local disk space available. This is the process we use to expand the disk image. This process assumes the following:

You're using legacy disk partitions. The process for LVM is similar and I will describe that in another post.
The partition you need to resize is the last partition on the disk.

This process will work with either a qcow2 or raw disk image. For

	# .bash_profile is executed for login shells,
	# .bashrc is executed for interactive non-login shells.
	# We want the same behaviour for both, so we source .bashrc from .bash_profile.
	# Also, when .bash_profile exists, bash ignores .profile, so we have to source
	# it explicitly.

	if [ -f "$HOME/.profile" ]; then
	. "$HOME/.profile"
	fi
