I have a question indirectly releted to Ovirt. I need to move one old

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?
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.
