<![CDATA[Need Help Expanding Resized Vultr Block Storage]]>I have a block storage volume from Vultr that is attached to my Cloudron server. This volume is used as the data directory for Next Cloud

I recently increased the size of this block storage volume through Vultr's user interface. After resizing, I remounted the volume to the server.

The volume still shows up as the original size in Cloudron & NextCloud, not reflecting the increased capacity.

Are there additional steps or commands I need to execute for Cloudron to recognize the new size of the expanded volume?

Is there a specific process or best practice when resizing volumes used by Cloudron applications, especially to avoid data loss or downtime?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Turns out Vultr wants you to boot from a recovery disk to resize.

Much faster (and no downtime) to just create new block storage and copy data over.

Something like https://docs.vultr.com/resize-disk#8.-resize-the-file-system ?
