How to increase my KVM account disk space

If you have a KVM plan, by default, the space is 20GB, if you get bigger space, you will need to resize it via one of the 2 options below:

1. Reinstall it via ISO via web control panel - see https://www.rentpbx.com/support/knowledgebase/82/How-reinstall-from-ISO-on-64-bit-plan.html

2. Resize it manually via SSH, assuming you have Ubuntu with 1 big LVM partition, you do below commands:

NOTE: You may first need to Stop VPS then Start VPS via web panel.

- find out which vda you need to resize

fdisk -l /dev/vda | grep ^/dev

- assuming it is vda1 and called /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root (you can find it via command df)

parted /dev/vda
resizepart 1 100%
quit

pvresize /dev/vda1

lvresize --size +20G --resizefs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root
