How to enlarge dev/sda1 partition?

slouma84 · 16. Mai 2020

Hello Community,

I would like to enlarge dev/sda1 partition as it is becoming full...see attached

What is the easiest way to do it?

I tried to do it in OMV5 but all the options are locked or it asks me for RAID which I do not know how to do it..

Any support appreciated.

Thanks!

/dev/sda1 is your OS drive where OMV is installed, you need to find out why it's filling up.

Every time I install something in Portainer it expands...I am guessing that all the images are there....

How to rectify?

Thanks

Probably, but I have just looked at your screenshot again am I correct in assuming you running on a single drive

You are right. I have a single 1T hard drive.

Then you know how to do it but the question is why, and what hardware are you running OMV on.

I do not :)...it is a neighbour who did all the installation. I am trying to learn but it is a new world for me.

I have attached some screenshots of the hardware.

let me know

thx

OK what he has done is not really a good idea, he has used the 1TB drive to install OMV then used GParted to configure the remainder of the drive as storage this will create problems in the future should your OMV become corrupt etc.

OMV will run from a USB flash drive and that would leave the 1TB drive purely for storage. But to answer your question specifically to extend that partition you will have to use GParted to extend OMV's partition and reduce the the size of what is in effect your data partition.

Is it possible to move sda1to a flash disk ?

Then delete the partition and leave the 1T for storage?

Thanks!!

What would be the name of the new copied image? sda1 or sdb1?

After I remove the clonezilla flash disk and reboot will OMV boot on the flash disk or need to do something before?

Appreciated your kind support!
