Some weeks ago I resize a volume from 200G to 400G, however, after mounting the volume df -h reports a different size compared to the output of lsblk:

Sadly, my Nextcloud instance reports lack of free space, which is not true since the volume has enough room. How can I fix this?

Hi there,
Once you resize your block storage volume, you would also need to expand the filesystem in order to be able to use the new space.
You can do that by following the steps here:

Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
