Hi, I’ve cloned a website and the disk got full. I went on and did a resize from 25GB to 60GB.
I can turn on/off the droplet, it says it is on 25GB but nothing is working anymore.
I went in throught console, SSH not working, did df -h and everything mentioned here: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/resize/#verifying-disk-resizes
When trying to resize with resize2fs I get this message: The filiesystem is already 6525179 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!
I’m stucked and I need the data on that server. It was a staging server and I did not ran backups.
thanks, Koen.

Thanks, the disc was completely full and therefore the resizing somehow went wrong.
Using df -h revealed there was only 25GB used from the 80GB available and that 25Gb was completely full.
I managed to resolve it by using the DO console, that worked, and deleted some files. Then the '‘growpart /dev/vda 1’ worked and the issue was resolved without losing any data!
Thanks for your help and have a great day! best, Koen.
Hello, @koenDolphin
What happens when you check the disk space usage on the droplet? You can check it using this command:
and
Is the disk space increased successfully and if so, can you provide some additional information about the issue at the moment?
Let me know how it goes.
