Expanding Volumes - Ubuntu

At some point, you're going to run out of space and need to provision some additional storage.

Steps:

Expand Volume Capacity
Expand Partition to Volume Capacity
Extend Filesystem to the size of partition

You'll need to know a few things like:

What block devices are available?

lsblk

What filesystem am I using on a partition?

file -s /dev/sda1
lsblk -f
blkid

What is the current capacity of storage in the filesystem?

df -h

Grow the first partition to the size of the volume

growpart /dev/sda 1

Resize the filesystem to the size of the partition

command specific to filesystem used, this for ext

resize2fs /dev/sda1

List disk usage -s summarize of a user

du -hs /home/marcload
