I recently deployed a new EVE-NG instance in ESXi and started out with 100 Gb. Note that I did not expand the existing HDD, I increased the size of the disk during the installation. After the install, I noticed that EVE is not reporting the full size of the disk that I created.

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 799M 14M 785M 2% /run
/dev/mapper/eve--ng--vg-root 31G 15G 16G 49% /
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 472M 83M 365M 19% /boot

Is the recommended method to use the default size of the disk when installing and then just add additional HDD's as needed?

Obviously you didnt follow ESXi how to install option..
All is ginev in the eve cookbooks mate...
It is momemnt when you create new VM, and assigh hdd for it.. and only then install it
our wem under documentation are 2 books, one for pro one for community
section 3.3 in both

PS, deploy means what?
Did you deploy ova eve?
During deploy you CAN NOT change size, it is against all VM ware rules....
only when you deploy your ova in esxi, only then you can start operetae with hdd size !!!
if so: then your option is to add second hdd

I did read and used the "community" cookbook. I "deployed" the .iso as instructed. I changed the size of the disk during the installation. I will attempt it again.

Followup: I re-deployed using the .iso and the file sizes are correct. I must have forgotten to update the HDD size with the previous instance. Thank you.
