Upsizing the /storage partition on www2 requires power-cycling the server on Vultr and some other steps.

  1. In Vultr: Cloud Storage -> Block Storage -> Edit -> Click on size, and enter new number of GB

  2. Go to the instances menu and use the "server restart" button to power-cycle the server.

  3. Reconnect to the server with SSH or get on console.

  4. Run lsblk to verify that the vdb device has grown to a larger size.

  5. If it has, run the following to resize the partition: growpart /dev/vdb 1 resize2fs /dev/vdb1

  6. Verify success: df -h
