I think you have to be a little bit more verbose. ---

So, a VM is started with and OS persistent image with 250 GB OS Image (qcow2). Now the image disk space looks like this 267 GB/ 250 GB and the VM can not start. The info saved is important can not be deleted. How can I resize the image to 300 GB or more ? Error: Failed to recover EFIs log mount finish failed ---

qemu-img resize yourimage.qcow2 +50G should resize your image. but i’m not sure if that really helps because changing the image size does not resize the partitions within the image.
