How to increase the size of the database disk on the Faddom virtual appliance?

Shut down the VM.

Edit the VM settings and increase the size of the disk. See Recommended sizing below for the Faddom appliance recommendation.

Start the VM.

Run df -h to verify the drive name and current size before making any changes.

Run fdisk, replacing /dev/sdb with the partition name shown in the df -h output from step 4.

Enter p to see the details of the existing partition.
​

​

Note the Start location

Type d to delete the partition

Type n to create a new partition and accept all the defaults
​

If asked to remove the signature, select yes
​

You may need to move the start of the partition to match the start of the partition before the change. To do this:

Type w to write the changes
​

Run df -h again to confirm the changes were applied to the correct drive before rebooting.
​

Reboot the server so it reads the new partition information.

Grow the file system using xfs_growfs, replacing /dev/sdb1 with the partition name shown in the df -h output from step 12.
