Resize a volume on a Hetzner cloud server (ext4 file system)
$ resize2fs ${volume}
try on your machine

The command resize2fs ${volume} is used to resize an ext2, ext3, or ext4 file system. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • resize2fs: This is the command itself. It is a utility that allows you to resize a file system on Linux.
  • ${volume}: This is a placeholder for the name or path of the volume you want to resize. You need to replace ${volume} with the actual name or path of the volume you want to resize.

When you execute this command with the appropriate volume name or path, resize2fs will resize the file system to make more or less space available, depending on the requirements. It will analyze the file system and modify the data structures accordingly to accommodate the new size.

It is important to note that resizing a file system can be a risky operation, and you should have a backup of your data before executing this command.
