Minikube - how to increase ephemeral storage - kubernetes

Question

I am trying to set up a copy of our app on my development machine using minikube. But I get an error showing up in minikube dashboard:
0/1 nodes are available: 1 Insufficient ephemeral-storage
Any ideas as to how I fix this?
The relevant part of the yaml configuration file looks like so:
resources:
requests:
memory: 500Mi
cpu: 1
ephemeral-storage: 16Gi
limits:
memory: 4Gi
cpu: 1
ephemeral-storage: 32Gi
I have tried assigning extra disk space at startup with the following but the error persists:
minikube start --disk-size 64g

The issue is that minikube can't resize the VM disk.
Depending on the type Hypervisor driver (xhyve, virtualbox, hyper-v) and disk type (qcow2, sparse, raw, etc.) resizing the VM disk will be different. For example, for if you have:
/Users/username/.minikube/machines/minikube/minikube.rawdisk
You can do something like this:
$ cd /Users/username/.minikube/machines/minikube
$ mv minikube.rawdisk minikube.img
$ hdiutil resize -size 64g minikube.img
$ mv minikube.img minikube.rawdisk
$ minikube start
$ minikube ssh
Then in the VM:
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/vda1 # <-- or the disk of your VM
Otherwise, if you don't care about the data in your VM:
$ rm -rf ~/.minikube
$ minikube start --disk-size 64g
