[How-to] resize FreePBX disk on Google Compute Engine

I was running out of space on my GCP hosted FreePBX and decided to add additional GBs

Step-by-step guide

1. Google Cloud Platform >> Compute Engine >> Snapshots >> Create a snapshot:

   1. Source disk (your FreePBX disk).

2. Google Cloud Platform >> Compute Engine >> Disks >> Create a disk:

   1. Source: select the snapshot created.

   2. Size: Pick the desired new disk size.

   3. The new size will not be reflected in the GUI.

3. SSH into your VM (I logged as a user then sudo -i to have root access.)

   1. df -h

   2. fdisk /dev/sda
      Command (m for help): p

   3. Command (m for help): d
      Partition number (1-4): 2

   4. Command (m for help): n

   5. Select (default p): p
      Partition number (2-4, default 2): 2

   6. Command (m for help): t
      Partition number (1,2, default 2): 2
      Hex code (type L to list all codes): 8e

   7. Command (m for help): p
      Command (m for help): w

   8. reboot

   9. pvresize /dev/sda2

   10. lvresize /dev/mapper/SangomaVG-root  /dev/sda2

   11. xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/SangomaVG-root

   12. Finally check the changes: df -h and in the FreePBX GUI
