The "Resize volume" menu item is greyed out.
Even if I power off the droplet, it is still greyed out. I remember I did resize this volume a few months ago using these instructions https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-increase-the-size-of-a-digitalocean-block-storage-volume. Anything changed?
First: Shutdown your droplet! Then, click with right button in "Resize volume" and go to "Inspect element" (in Safari, or equivalent in other browsers)... remove 'class="is-disabled"', and the button changes to "available".. click and choose your new size!
I am also having the same issue, I opened a ticket for the same. Yet to get a working solution from DO support since last 4 days. First I was asked to power off the machine and then try to resize, but that did not work. Then I was told to unmount the volume and resize, that too didn't work. Now I am waiting for DO's solution.
It's helpful information, but it's not an answer. It would be better if you have commented instead of answering.
I have received an answer from my Support Ticket. The tutorial needs updating with at least two steps to be done prior to the tutorial's steps.
1) Shutdown the droplet
sudo shutdown -h now
2) Refresh the Droplet page in order to refresh the Volume page, then disconnect the Volume from the Droplet using the pulldown (which will then no longer be grey).
3) Follow the tutorial at:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-increase-the-size-of-a-digitalocean-block-storage-volume
0) During this process I got a corrupted filesystem – I do not know the fault as it could have been something that I did. But I suggest that you backup your Volume offsite as a first step.
It all went smooth until the lsblk step, when I didn't get a filetype or UUID back from the system. Later, at the e2fsck step I got the following error. I report this here in case it happens to others so we can get a history to the Support team:
sudo e2fsck -f /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DOVolumemysfo2volumename-part1
Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DOVolumedownloads1-part1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Good luck
This all smells quite bad.
So essentially we should do this:
Hi! I got the same error you mentioned above (Bad magic number), I then realised that some of the commands refer to the volume name, and some refer to the partition name, i.e.
scsi-0DO Volume volume-nyc1-01
scsi-0DO Volume volume-nyc1-01-part1
When I followed the tutorial mentioned above again, using the right names everything worked perfectly. Just something to watch out for! :)
I found that I can resize the volume by detaching it from the droplet, then go to the volumes tab and then you will see the resize active.
Before detaching the volume, make sure you unmount it in the droplet to make sure you will not have any data corrupted.
I'm having the exact same problem. Did a reboot from the command line and also did the power cycle via the dashboard, no luck.
Help needed. Thanks!
I am also unable to resize an attached volume, even after a shutdown in the command line.
i was also having this problem. But I did resizing using API. Check: https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#resize-a-volume
I think there is an issue with UI, hope DO will fix it soon.
Still have this issue and lacking of free space. Several days has passed. DO hello?
Same here. Not possible to resize volume even with the server powered off.
November 4, 2:30 PM Pacific...still grey...I must admit, I am not going to learn how to make the API function just for this. I have increased size 2 times before and it is so dead easy. Maybe it time to climb on Parnabs ticket.
I have the same problem, button is greyed out for resizing the Volume, restarting the droplet doesnt work.
Sounds like they are really trying to encourage people to start using Spaces.
I don't think so. Spaces and Volumes serve two different purposes.
Same here, I cannot resize my first little volume, even after having power cycled the droplet multiple times. The menu option remains greyed out.
First: Shutdown your droplet! Then, click with right button in "Resize volume" and go to "Inspect element" (in Safari, or equivalent in other browsers)... remove 'class="is-disabled"', and the button changes to "available".. click and choose your new size!
