The easiest way to enlarge a partition in the appliance is to use the installed partition manager GParted. Please launch it using the Applications or Activity menu (or using the shell command "gparted").

Note: after starting GParted, you may be prompted with a message about whether the GPT partition should be resized to use all available space. Please confirm this change!

1. Right-click the partition that needs to be extended and click on Resize/Move
   
   
   
   
2. Draw the right border to the end, so that all fee space is taken up by the resized partition and click Resize
   
   
   
   
3. Confirm and apply the changes by clicking the green check-mark (Apply All Operations) in the tool bar
