        Not sure what cloning has to do with it, but basically:

        1. Grow the partition
        2. Grow the filesystem

          Wouldn't it be simpler to create a new VM with a larger disk, install fresh, and restore the config?

            Much, much simpler. You'd be back up and running in minutes. Before any disk clone would ever have finished.
