<p dir="auto">It didn't finish because the Hetzner Cloud Volume ran out of space.</p>
<p dir="auto">So, I increased the size and then did:</p>
<pre><code>resize2fs /dev/sdb 
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">On the server.</p>
<p dir="auto">But now Cloudron is no longer displaying the disk usage/ size:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1617905742418-screenshot-from-2021-04-08-19-11-40.png" alt="Screenshot from 2021-04-08 19-11-40.png" class="img-markdown  img-fluid" /></p>
<p dir="auto">I'm also confused by this bit:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">books 9.72 GB<br />
Used 4.32 GB</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">All the data is in the exact same place, what's the difference? Why the discrepancy?</p>
<p dir="auto">Help! I've rebooted a couple of time just to see if that'd help, but it didn't.</p>
<p dir="auto">I also note that when the rsyncing finishes it says:</p>
<pre><code>total size is 8.42G
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">So how is that becoming 9.72 GB + 4.32 GB = 14.04 GB?!?  (I guess Calibre Web itself is NOT 6GB!?)</p>
<p dir="auto">UPDATE: OK, so I ssh'd into my server to have a little poke around and I noticed within /mnt/books/library I had a folder called Calibre Library with permissions &lt;root&gt; (instead of &lt;yellowtent&gt;) with much of the collection repeated in there (must've been when I was trying to remember the correct destination location and rsync command that I accidentally created that!)</p>
<p dir="auto">I just deleted that I now System info shows this:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1617916426996-screenshot-from-2021-04-08-22-13-36.png" alt="Screenshot from 2021-04-08 22-13-36.png" class="img-markdown  img-fluid" /></p>
<p dir="auto">That's a bit better (I guess that root owned folder was confusing things).  But still all a bit unclear:</p>
<p dir="auto">What does "7.75 GB of 14.7 GB available" actually mean?<br />
That I'm using 7.75 GB of a total available of 14.7?<br />
Or that I've got 7.75 GB left?<br />
And whatever it means why does the blue line show the drive as almost full? (actually I think perhaps the blue line is more correct than the figures!)</p>
<p dir="auto">Either way, why does that 7.75 GB not correlate at all with the "book 14.03 GB" shown below? Nor the "total size is 8.42G" that rsync tells me?</p>
<p dir="auto">And what's the "Used NaN undefined" bit all about (perhaps just a remnant of that root owned folder that'll update and disappear in due course?)</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks!</p>
<p dir="auto">UPDATE 2:</p>
<p dir="auto">OK, so I think this was mostly just a permissions issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">I was rsyncing my books up using:</p>
<pre><code>rsync --progress --recursive -vh /home/josef/Calibre\ Library/  root@116.203.252.254:/mnt/books/library
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Which of course meant that everything was then root:root instead of yellowtent:yellowtent</p>
<p dir="auto">After going into the server and doing:</p>
<pre><code>chown -R yellowtent:yellowtent library/
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">It now looks like this:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1617954524237-screenshot-from-2021-04-09-08-45-42.png" alt="Screenshot from 2021-04-09 08-45-42.png" class="img-markdown  img-fluid" /></p>
<p dir="auto">And to answer my own question above, I think "6.08 GB of 14.7 GB available" means "of at total disk size of 14.7 GB there is 6.08 GB of space left".</p>
<p dir="auto">(and so I didn't actually have to increase the size of the volume at all - it filled up because when I first did the rsync I forget the trailing slash on end of <code>/home/josef/Calibre\ Library/</code> which uploaded the whole thing into a new folder on the volume at <code>/mnt/books/libraray/Calibre\ Library/</code>)</p>
<p dir="auto">/me goes to reduce the size of the volume back to a perfectly sufficient 10 GB...</p>

<p dir="auto">Oh, bollocks. You can't decrease the size of Hetzner Cloud Volumes, only increase them. So I'd have to create a whole new one and then and then and then...can't be bothered with all that so I guess I'll just stomach the slightly increased cost of 15 GB over 10 GB.</p>
