Hi Marcus,

Good day to you, and thank you for your e-mail.

I have tried restarting the VM and even stop and start the VM, but after
logging in to the VM, I still see the hard drive's size as 20 GB instead of
60 GB.

I tried to check /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log file on the KVM host where
the VM is hosted, and can't find any messages related to volBlockResize.

Any other troubleshooting steps you can recommend, i.e. any other area I
can look into?

Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

Cheers.
