I wish to increase a Directory in size after upgrading physical disk

Denali007 · Feb 24, 2024

I first had a 1TB SSD and a secondary 1TB hdd in my system. I upgraded the secondary 1TB HDD to a 2TB SSD.
I created the directory on the old 1TB HDD so now i have a 1TB directory and can't seem to resize it to 2TB.

Now the problem is that the partition is 2TB but the directory doesn't change size, it even crashed when filled up.

How would i go about on changing the directory size without losing data?

What is the output of (text format please encoded with CODE tags):
lsblk
mount
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
fdisk -l /dev/sda

You may also want to read https://www.msp360.com/resources/blog/linux-resize-partition/ (via google search "how to increase partition size linux") or in the same google search switch to "videos" results and watch few of the top results.

Good luck

are you sure you collected entire output from this command? sda1 is present in prior commands, but is absent here. I would expect something like:

fdisk -l /dev/sda

Also what is the output of "dh -h"?

Now it gives this sorry
dh-h gives

ok, so you have expected physical disk size:

sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk

You have properly sized partition:

yet your filesystem does not see the entire space
