Resizing disk on Debian

Recently during a droplet(DigitalOcean VM) configuration based on a custom image, I had to resize one disk’s partition to full fill all the space “given” by DigitalOcean. So, let’s begin!

gdisk -l /dev/vda to check the disk and space available

You can see that the disk has 50.0 GiB on the image Disk /dev/vda, and the partition I wanted to resize was number 2(already resized in the image).

Now growpart /dev/vda 2 and then

df -Th /dev/vda2 to see the filesystem

In my case was XFS

Now just run xfs_growfs /dev/vda2 and it’s done
