+Resize Disk Image
+-----------------
 
 There are several disk images which can be easily extended.
  But pay attention to the overall consumed space of your sparse disk images.

-Resizing `root.img` Size
---------------------------
+Resize Root Disk Image
+----------------------
 
-The safest way to increase the size of `root.img` is to do it for a standalone
-VM (qvm-create --standalone) - which has its own root filesystem
-(copy of template, instead of smart sharing).
-But it should also work for a normal template (as long as changes in the
-template between reboots didn't exceed 10G).
+The safest way to increase the size of `root.img` is to turn your TemplateVM into a StandaloneVM. Doing this means it will have it's own root filesystem *(StandaloneVMs use a copy of template, instead of smart sharing)*. To do this run `qvm-create --standalone` from `dom0` Konsole.
 
-Replace the size and the path (name) of the template as wished and run your
-modified command:
+### Resize a StandaloneVM Root Image
 
-```
-truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-21/root.img
-```
+In `dom0` Konsole run the following command (replace the size and path):
 
-Then start your template or standalone VM and run:
+~~~
+truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/appvms/standalonevm/root.img
+~~~
 
-```
+Then start Terminal for this StandaloneVM and run:
+
+~~~
 sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot
-```
+~~~
 
-after that shutdown the template.
+Shutdown the StandaloneVM and you will have extended the size of it's `root.img`
 
-Then you should have extended `root.img` in your VM/template
+
+### Resize a TemplateVM Root Image
+
+In `dom0` Konsole run the following command (replace the size and path):*Make sure changes in the TemplateVM between reboots didn't exceed 10G.*
+
+~~~
+truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-21/root.img
+~~~
+
+Then start Terminal for this TemplateVM and run the following:
+
+~~~
+sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot
