Verified VM101 disk expansion method: 1. Stop VM101 and create a <=40-character Proxmox snapshot. 2. qm resize sata1 to 1G. 3. Attach the stopped raw LV with qemu-nbd. 4. Extend partition 2. 5. Run e2fsck, offline resize2fs, then e2fsck. 6. Disconnect NBD before VM start. 7. Mark storage core complete before asynchronous VPN runtime checks. 8. Never automatically rollback a proven storage expansion because endpoints are still settling. Publisher interface: router-publish-report
