How do I expand/extend VM partion (Xen, Ubuntu)

@Danp said in How do I expand/extend VM partion (Xen, Ubuntu):
@scottalanmiller It's called XO.
XO is only on 5.7. So that can't be it.

Not sure what you mean here.
TBH, I think @guyinpv meant XS when he said XC.

That makes more sense except he said that he was running ON Ubuntu. XS is a base install, it does not run "on" anything else. So no matter what assumption we've come up with, the OP has some part of the statement that makes it impossible.
Someone thought that I was kissing when I asked what he was running... but now I've gotten about four different people who are all sure that he "obviously" meant something totally different from each other. So everyone thinks it is obvious, but clearly it is not. Is it XO, XS, XC or something else?

Slight typo there.

@scottalanmiller Actually, he said "running a Ubuntu".

Oh, you are right. That makes more sense. So assuming that XenCenter means XenServer, that makes a lot more sense. I'm sure my brain assumed the key word was XenCenter and then added "on" because XenCenter is an app that can only run "on" not run something itself. Then it just got more and more confusing from there.

Dang it.
XenServer is 6.5.
XenCenter is 7.1 as of today.
The VM is headless Ubuntu 14.04 running Seafile.
I happen to also run a VM for XO but I don't know how that plays into this. Is XO better at extending partitions?I eventually gave up trying to extend the partition anyway. The docs I found said I had to blast away the partition so I needed to move data around to do it. Just a pain in the butt. It was only a test install of Seafile anyway. I intend to build it up properly this round.
The only question is now, I really don't want to go through this again, or I need to set it up so changing drive size isn't as big a deal.
We've used up our 10GB of Box space so I could easily just throw, say, 50GB at the new setup and it would probably last us a half decade. But still, it would be nice to do this in a way where I can more easily adjust available space if the time comes.
