Title: Increasing the disk space
Post by: anandmys on October 26, 2026, 08:16:05 AM

I am running AL 8.10 with cwp 1.27

I am using an VPS with 200GB Disk Space

What is the process to increase the disk allocation if I upgrade my storage?

Currently my /dev/sda2   / is 85% used

Update


Fdisk info:
Disk /dev/sda: 400 GiB, 429496729600 bytes, 838860800 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x7300f1ed

Device     Boot   Start       End   Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *       2048   2050047   2048000 1000M 83 Linux
/dev/sda2       2050048 838860766 836810719  399G 83 Linux

I could complete this with following steps.

Code: [Select]

lsblk

Code: [Select]

echo 1 > /sys/class/block/sda/device/rescan


Code: [Select]

yum install cloud-utils-growpart -y

Code: [Select]

growpart /dev/sda 2

Code: [Select]

lsblk to verify

Check filesystem type

Code: [Select]

df -Th /
As mine was ext4

Code: [Select]

resize2fs /dev/sda2

Code: [Select]

df -Th /
verify that changes are done
