Subject: Manually resize partition and filesystem on a Contabo VPS after upgrading your storage Good day from Singapore, To extend your filesystem on a Contabo VPS after upgrading your storage, you must manually resize the partition and filesystem to utilize the new space. For Linux, use growpart and resize2fs (for ext4) or xfs_growfs (for XFS). For Windows, use the Disk Management tool to extend the volume. As I am using AlmaLinux 9.7, the steps are as follows: # dnf check-update # dnf search cloud-utils # dnf install cloud-utils-growpart [root@ns1 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda GPT PMBR size mismatch (419430399 != 524287999) will be corrected by write. The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device.
