Did you check the stats from terminal? If not then you may try:

  • Login to terminal (with sudo privileges) through a client like PuTTY
  • Run command:
df -h

This will show the actual space available on the droplet.

Also, did you used “Fast Resize”? If yes, this will not increase your disk space. If you want to increase disk space too, the you should follow:

  • Poweroff your droplet
  • Take snapshot from DO control panel
  • Create a new droplet from the snapshot This will create a new droplet with 40G size (or as applicable) as per plan!

Hope this helps!

I tried the following

root@host [~]# df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/vda1 30G 29G 0 100% / tmpfs 1004M 0 1004M 0% /dev/shm /usr/tmpDSK 670M 18M 618M 3% /tmp root@host [~]# sudo resize2fs /dev/vda1

resize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) The filesystem is already 7863808 blocks long. Nothing to do!
