The default CCI Virtualization Linux VM has 40 GB of virtual disk space. While it is configured to use Logical Volume Management (LVM) and xfs filesystems, ~28 GB of virtual disk is not allocated to any filesystem.
Instructions for managing LVM, including adding space to an existing filesystem can be found below:

Below is an example of how to grow /home from 2 GB to 5 GB in size:
1. View mounted filesystems and their sizes:
