Grow a Vultr Block Storage volume from 80 to 160 GB, then expand its filesystem. Volumes cannot shrink in place.
Resizing a Vultr Block Storage volume allows you to scale up your storage needs when your data grows. For instance, you can scale the storage size from 80 GB to 160 GB to create more room for business assets like databases, images, audio, and video. You can't shrink a Vultr Block Storage volume to a smaller size unless you create a new instance and copy over the files.
Resizing a Block Storage volume involves two steps:
Follow this guide to resize a Vultr Block Storage volume using the Vultr Console, API, CLI or Terraform.
80 GB.160. Type YES to confirm and click Continue.After resizing the volume, you must expand the filesystem on the attached instance to use the additional space.
Connect to your instance via SSH.
Verify the block storage device path. For example, /dev/vdb.
If the block storage uses a partition (for example, /dev/vdb1), expand the partition using growpart.
Resize the filesystem based on the filesystem type.
For ext4 filesystems:
For XFS filesystems:
Verify the new size is available.
