I don't know what that means, increasing the size through the GUI. I
wasn't aware Boxes even had an option to resize qcow2 files (?)

It's easier to tell you to reinstall and use Manual Partitioning, and
use Standard Partitions instead of LVM. Otherwise I have to write up a

I'd probably need to run through it myself and I don't have the
hardware to do that at the moment.
