New cPanel install on LVM does this look normal to you? It does not to me :-)

rhenderson
Hi everyone, Been a while since I have done a server migration. I have never used LVM (using Virtualizor to create the cPanel VPS) so after researching I got Virtualizor up and running and launched a cPanel VPS, yea me. But this just doesn't look right :) [root@horus ~]# df -Th Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs devtmpfs 23G 0 23G 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 23G 0 23G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs 23G 33M 23G 1% /run tmpfs tmpfs 23G 0 23G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/vda1 ext4 1.1T 17G 962G 2% / /dev/loop0 ext4 3.9G 20M 3.6G 1% /tmp tmpfs tmpfs 4.6G 0 4.6G 0% /run/user/0
cPanel disk shows Device Size Used Available Percent Used Mount Point /dev/loop0 3.9G 20M 3.6G 1% /tmp /dev/vda1 1.1T 15G 965G 2% /
I was thinking, is that right, a 4TB /tmp partition, lol. Sure doesn't look normal. There are a lot of help topics on making /tmp bigger but not on making it smaller. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Randy Henderson

    /tmp is 4GB, not 4TB, looks ok to me.

    The file systems look pretty normal for a CentOS V7 based system. Because /tmp is on a loop device, that looks like what cPanel created for you. 4 GB is the default size. If you want to resize it, this support article should help

    Ok, yes that is correct, thanks, then the /dev/vda1 is what I need to resize, not sure if that is possible, again new to me, I wanted /dev/vda1 to be 3.2 TB to 3.5 TB and it's 1.1TB, I knew I was missing space for some reason I misread and thought it was all in /tmp/ Randy

    this is more of a sys admin issue rather than cPanel :) but does your disk 3.5TB in size? What does "fdisk -l" shows? If not then you have to resize the disk first from Virtualizor and then the partition and filesystem from within the VPS.

    Thanks Andrew, I had deleted and recreate the volume, so the names may have changed Disk /dev/vda: 3481.1 GB, 3481070993408 bytes, 6798966784 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk label type: dos Disk identifier: 0x000b136f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/vda1 * 2048 2389313535 1194655744 83 Linux /dev/vda2 2389313536 2503999487 57342976 82 Linux swap / Solaris
    So it i says it is correct 3481.1 GB But that's not what's available NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT vda 253:0 0 3.2T 0 disk ??vda1 253:1 0 1.1T 0 part / ??vda2 253:2 0 54.7G 0 part [SWAP] loop0 7:0 0 4G 0 loop /var/tmp
    I put in a support ticket with Virtualizor but this should not be so complicated :)

    Now you need to resize the partition and the filesystem itself. You need to boot the server from gParted ISO (that's the easiest way) and increase the partition. You can find a good guide here:

    As mentioned, there isn't anything cPanel can do to help with this. You may be able to resize the existing configuration depending on how your host handles that, or you may need to create a new machine, specifying the size of the partitions before the server is built.
