Description

@bloodearnest says:

I think the Ubuntu VM disk could be increased to use more space on the host disk. I think there was maybe 5TB that could be gained?
So this would be something TPP would need to do, and it would involve downtime.

Research direction

The issue concerns the Ubuntu VM disk on TPP and suggests using roughly 5TB of additional host capacity. First confirm the available host space and TPP's disk-resize procedure, including the required downtime; done means the VM can use the larger disk without service or filesystem problems.
