Hi all,

I have an installation of ZM running on an Ubuntu 18.04 VM. When I did the initial setup, I allocated 100GB of a ~225GB SSD to the VM.

I have been adding cameras and learning about ZM ever since. (and enjoying it immensely)

I seen to have hit a little bump.

I am running 4 cameras, and have set them up to MOCORD with a 5 day filter. Everything doing well, except that I am pushing the limits of storage, using about 86% in storing events. To address this, I expanded the VM disk allocation to 200GB, and expanded /dev/sda2 partition to include the expanded space. I was surprised when ZM did not change ... it is still showing 86% usage in default (84.28GB of 97.93GB 67.13GB used by events.

Spent the last 2 hours searching for an explanation and/or a solution.

My question: Is there any way to expand Default Storage to use all of the available space in the partition?

Thanks in advance,

Jack Rainey

You expanded the partition, but did you expand the file system? If you are using the ext4 file system (the most common), do this....

resize2fs /dev/sda2

That will expand the file system to the size of the partition.

Thank you gbkersey!

Worked perfectly, although I thought I had already done that.
