  1. Change size of virtual disk in VMware (increase only)
  2. Rescan the SCSI bus / devices

    # echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
    # echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/0\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan
    # echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/2\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan
    
  3. Destroy & recreate the partition with the new boundary (hopefully you used the last partition on the disk!)

    # fdisk /dev/sda
       p            (print) 
       d            (delete partition)
       3            (third partition)
       n            (new partition)
       p            (a primary partition)
       3            (the third one)
       [return]     (start block default)
       [return]     (end block default)
       w            (write changes to disk)
    
  4. Pray

    # reboot
    
  5. Let BTRFS know

    # btrfs filesystem resize max /
