Considering the following scenario...

NAME MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
vda  252:0    0  200G  0 disk
vda1 252:1    0  512M  0 part /boot/efi
vda2 252:2    0    1K  0 part
vda5 252:5    0 49,5G  0 part /
Disk /dev/vda: 200 GiB, 214748364800 bytes, 419430400 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

/dev/vda1  *       2048   1050623   1048576  512M  b W95 FAT32
/dev/vda2       1052670 104855551 103802882 49,5G  5 Extended
/dev/vda5       1052672 104855551 103802880 49,5G 83 Linux

how to resize /dev/vda5 to extend up to all the 200GB space of /dev/vda? What should be done concerning /dev/sda2 holding the extended partion inside which is the logical partition vda5?

Thanks in advance....

Thanks, i did it by first resing the extended and the logical partitions (parted->resizepart first 2 and then 5) up to 200Gb and then resizing the filesystem on the logical partition (resize2fs /dev/vda5) – John Nov 09 '23 at 06:24
