Issue Running out of drive space Cent OS 6.9

[macandrew89]

Hi,

I'm running out of disk space and starting to get worried, I haven't been able to find the right answer yet.

I have a vps with OVH which originally started with 20gb but since upgrading it now has 40gb.

I tried to follow this guide Running out of drive space - Centos 6.5 and got to psa where it returned unknown command error.

If someone to guide me through what to do here it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm guessing you may be trying to extend a volume that is not an LVM.

You need to decide how you want this arranged. You could create a new LVM with the new 20GB allocated to it, migrate the data from the existing volume to the new volume, and then allocate the space from the old volume to the new volume since it's now an LVM.

Hello,

A tutorial about resizing vps partition is available in OVH documentation : Extension of a partition on a VPS — OVH Documentation 0.0.1 documentation
But make a backup before resizing the partition, because it may result in data loss.
