Hello,

here some info about /dev/sdb1, mounted as /var/www/html into a debian VM.

Code:
df -Th

/dev/sdb1      ext4      6.8T  6.3T  201G  97% /var/www/html

fdisk -l /dev/sdb

NOCHANGE: partition 1 could only be grown by -10385094656 [fudge=2048]

Code:
resize2fs /dev/sdb1
resize2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
The filesystem is already 1835007488 (4k) blocks long.  Nothing to do!

growpart seems to report a negative value and resize2fs refuse to extend the partion, is it because the 4k partition sector size?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
