I don't see a partition list for vdb here, only vda above. Is that all
you get from `fdisk -l /dev/vdb`? If so, what kind of partition table is
used on vdb?

Note that you can leave out the size argument completely if you want to
make it use the entire partition.

So the partition isn't big enough. Maybe you only resized the disk but
not the partition table of vdb. As mentioned above, your output only
includes the partition table of vda.

Did you resize the disk while the machine is running? If that's the case
make sure to send a `block_resize` qemu-monitor command, otherwise the
running VM won't see the change in size. (You can use the vm's 'Monitor'
tab in the GUI.)
