Re: [Astlinux-users] Extending Astlinux disk

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi Micheal,

Here is an example Proxmox VM with a 8 GB disk

pbx-pve ~ # df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
...
/dev/sda1               255.6M    121.3M    134.3M  47% /oldroot/cdrom
/dev/sda2               237.9M     17.5M    207.6M   8% /mnt/asturw
/dev/sda3                 7.4G      2.9M      7.0G   0% /mnt/kd

pbx-pve ~ # findfs LABEL=RUNNIX          
/dev/sda1
pbx-pve ~ # findfs LABEL=ASTURW
/dev/sda2
pbx-pve ~ # findfs LABEL=ASTKD 
/dev/sda3

The standard 256 MB partitions for the RUNNIX and ASTURW are generally good, and don't need to be changed.

The ASTKD partition, as small as a few GB can provide production usage for many cases.

One solution might be to archive/prune via 'scp' or 's3fs' to external storage, keeping a smaller ASTKD partition practical.

Otherwise, we don't include any tools to extend the size of the partition.
