→ Applies to: SynetoOS 6.x

Step 1. Increase the disk size from 40GB to 80GB ("How to increase disk space for a SynetoOS VMDK on VMware ESXi")

Step 2. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

Step 3. Become Super User

sudo su

Step 4. Identify the filesystem disk

lsblk

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

[root@syneto-os-echo ~]# lsblk

Step 5. Verify disk space available

df -h

Step 6. List partitions

fdisk -l /dev/sda

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

[root@syneto-os-echo ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 80 GiB, 85899345920 bytes, 167772160 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x6d79aa1d
Device     Boot    Start       End   Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *        2048   2099199   2097152   1G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2        2099200  10487807   8388608   4G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3       10487808 167772159 157284352  75G 83 Linux

Step 7. Access fdisk for the specific disk

fdisk /dev/sda

Step 8. Press p to see the partition table

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 80 GiB, 85899345920 bytes, 167772160 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x6d79aa1d

Device     Boot    Start       End   Sectors Size Id Type

/dev/sda3       10487808 167772159 157284352  75G 83 Linux

Step 9. Press d to delete the partition table

Step 10. If the partition on which to expand the space is sda3, press 3

Step 11. Press n to create the partition table

Step 12. Press p for primary partition

Step 13. Enter the partition number 3

Step 14. Press enter without entering values

Step 15. When asked to remove the XFS signature answer n

Step 16. Save changes with w

Step 17. Exit from fdisk with q

Step 18. Update the system space

xfs_growfs /
