This question already has an answer here:




  • How do I resize partitions and filesystems on them?

    1 answer



  • changing the partition of a linux

    1 answer




I've got Ubuntu 18.04 Server in Virtual Box, and once I've ran out of 10 GB of allocated space on virtual disk, I've increased the size of the virtual disk to 17 GB and resized the root partition with parted's resizepart command (and done so while partition is in use, and yes I know it's bad practice, but it's a virtual machine for development, all code committed to github and I've a clone of the machine just in case).



Everything seems to have worked: lsblk and udisksctl properly report the new size, but df is still stuck at reporting the old 10 GB and 100% usage (even after reboot). Why is it so and what can I do about this odd df's behavior ?

  • @IporSircer It's / partition. I don't recall it's possible to unmount / while system is running. But I rebooted it once already, shouldn't that have had an effect ?

There’s probably a more specific duplicate somewhere, but I can’t find it.



The reason df isn’t showing any extra space is that it measure the free space inside the file system; it doesn’t care about partitions, logical volumes etc. So far, you’ve resized the disk and the partition; you also need to resize the file system:



sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1
