How to expand Nextcloud storage space with volumes?

Posted October 27, 2020 241 views
Block Storage

I am running Nextcloud 19.04 on a Ubuntu 20.04 Droplet. I have enabled the external storage app after adding a Volume, but I don’t see it. It should have been automatically configured and mounted, but it’s not showing up. Is there anything else I need to do?

Hi there @dangilleran7,

In order to check if your volume has been mounted, you can SSH to your Droplet and run the following command:

  • df -h

If you do not see the new volume, you can manually mount it as described here:

Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Bobby

    Hi @bobbyiliev I see the 100G volume, mounted as dev/sda, but my server doesn’t seem to be using it and reports disk space as full. Is there any reason that would be happening?

    Here is the full output of df -h if you’re curious

    $ df -h
