Thread: Increase Size of Filesystem

  1. #1

    Default Increase Size of Filesystem

    Hi all,
    I increased the size of a logical Volume in the Web Gui, but the system which mounts it, allways sees the original size and ist not able to change the size (xfs_growfs).

    How do I change the size of a mounted filesystem (with XFS)?

    Regards, thx in advance

    Try to use the PV Resize function in the Extended tools from the Console.
    All the best,

    you can use putty to get at the console comands
    PV resize will require a reboot when it finishes


    here are the steps to set it up

    For Windows clients:

    Enable the Remote access function in the GUI:
    SETUP -> Administrator -> Remote console access
    to access the console via SSH.

    1. To connect the server from Microsoft Windows, download the free SSH client (Putty):
    • in the Host Name (or IP address) field, please enter the IP address of the server
    • in the Port field, please enter the same port as in the server GUI (default is 22222)
    • in the Protocol field, please select SSH
    • in the category: Connection -> Data -> Auto-login-username please enter: cli
    • in Terminal -> Keyboard -> The Function Keys and keypad please select VT100+
    • go back to the Session category, enter the session name in the Saved Sessions field, and click on the Save button
    • click on the newly saved session, click Open, and enter the password (if you have not entered the Auto-login-username, Putty will prompt you for a username, so please enter cli)
    When you log in, you should see the console information screen.

    2. To connect the server from Linux, use the command:
    ssh -p 22222 cli@address_ip, where:
    • 22222 indicates the remote access port
    • address_ip indicates the address of the server you want to connect
    You will be asked for the remote access password you have entered in the GUI.
