Error during resizing a persistent disk

[Rohit Manglik]

I followed steps mentioned at https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/add-persistent-disk#resize_partitions

I changed size of my persistent disk from 10GB to 20GB.

After resizing, I ran following output from resize2fs

sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1 resize2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) The filesystem is already 2620416 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!

Now when I run df command in my server, I can still see only 10GB space.

user@edudrona-prod-vm:~$ df

I am just running simple Wordpress site using Bitnami. 

(I also asked same question on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39364836/persistent-disk-size-is-not-changing-google-compute-engine but got no answers over there.)

Thanks

Hello Rohit,

Bitnami's WordPress stack uses Debian 8 as its operating system. This article provides a list of GCE operating systems that performs automatic disk resizing during boot time. Since Debian 8 supports automatic resizing you just need to reboot your VM for automatic disk resizing to take effect.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Hi Kamran,

This resolved the issue. 

Thanks :)
