Disk Space on Resized Droplet

Posted on April 5, 2013

Hi guys!

How can i reclaim the extra disk space earned after i resize a droplet?

And what happens if i am with a 30GB disk droplet, then resize-it down?

Thank you!

On my droplet I have disabled rootlogin and password login. I created a snapshot of the instance but I am never able to login to the new droplest created using this snapshot :-( <br>

<br>i’m asking the same, when you resize up the disk doesn’t change <br> <br>Regards

Best way to handle this is to take a snapshot of the droplet, and fire up a new droplet based on that snapshot. From my experience, every time I create a droplet with the same hostname, it always assigns it back the same IP.
