Increase disk size from terminal after increasing size from azure

I have 30 GB base memory disk on azure and another 64 GB that I increased from 32 GB but I am having issues with allocating the newly added memory.

here is my output of df-h terminal output

any idea how to allocate the memory? Thanks

output of fdisk -l as root is-

what is the result of `fdisk -l` (as root)?

Hey @RomeoNinov I have updated it on question

I see one disk `dev/sdc` 64GB, which is unallocated. Do you search for this?

Hey yes but how to allocate this? I tried resize2fs dev/sdc which returned open: No such file or directory while opening dev/sdc

You need to create partition there. But in your case you can't add space from this disk to other disks (if this is your intention).

oh because of different disk types ? @RomeoNinov

No, because to use diskspace as one big bucket you need to use LVM for example. And from what I see you don't. If you want to extend existing partition you should extend existing disks (`sda`, `sdb`)

Hello @RomeoNinov I have fixed the issue I was getting by increasing the size of base disc instead of adding additional disc. So when I increased the size of base/primary disc it automatically increased the size. I will look into how to allocate using LVM and thank you very for the insights :)

Right now you do not want to play with LVM because there is no sample way to migrate existing data to LVM :)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
