Basically i have a chance to resize a kvm without lvm / lvm2. Adding size to a kvm is pretty straight forward, all you need to do is the following,
qemu-img resize vmdisk.img +40G
and if you boot up your machine, you'll see 10G if you hit the following command,
fdisk -l
now, we need to increase this partition so that our existing partition will increase from 60GB to 100GB.
[root@test ~]# fdisk /dev/sda
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
sectors (command 'u').

The partition table has been altered!
Once you've done that you should have a bigger partition of 100GB
Resize your filesystem with resize2fs
now just do the following and your size should increase to 100GB
root@test:~# resize2fs /dev/sda1 resize2fs 1.43.5 (04-Aug-2017) Filesystem at /dev/sda1 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required old_desc_blocks = 8, new_desc_blocks = 13 The filesystem on /dev/sda1 is now 26214144 (4k) blocks long.
pretty straight forward i must say!
