Unused Disk Space

[nasha]

Hi,
This is the VPS disk structure. After directadmin installation I can't use /sda2 space. I want to merge /sda1 and /sda2. to use 200GB space.

 #ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2

# fdisk -l

They are different file systems. You have to unified first and then you will be able to merge up.

Hello,

You can find a guide here: https://www.transip.eu/knowledgebase/entry/141-how-do-grow-partition-linux/ I used it for VPS from TransIP. Can be used for other providers as well.

Your VPS provider might have another guide for the same cases.

In order to delete sda2 and resize sda1, you will need to re-install OS on your VPS.
