# How to Increase Disk Space?

| Increase disk space when [SSH](http://syncrohost.com/kb/ssh-with-windows-and-mac/) using root.

1. Check the current partition size using
```
df -h
```
2. Check the actual physical disk size and available partition using the following command:
```
fdisk -l
```
Example of output:
```
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1  30G  3.2G 2.5G  12%   /
```
The example above shows the disk is **/dev/vda** and the partition is **1**.
3. Install using **cloud-utils-growpart** command and press **y** to continue the installation. You should see Complete! At the end of the installation process.
```
yum install cloud-utils-growpart
```
4. Use the following command to grow the logical partition to extend to all available space:
```
growpart /dev/vda 1
```
Example of output:
```
CHANGED:partition=1 start=2048 old:size=41938688 end=41940736 new:size=62912479,end=62914527
```
The output might be different based on your disk space.
5. Run **resize2fs** command to extend filesystem:
```
resize2fs /dev/vda1
```
Example of output:
```
resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
Filesystem at /dev/vda1 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 3, new_desc_blocks = 4
The filesystem on /dev/vda1 is now 7864059 blocks long.
```
The output might be different based on your disk space.
6. Check your new partition size:
```
df -h
```
You should see the size of your partition and filesystem has been increased.
