Boot Pratition Increase

The document provides instructions for increasing the size of a custom boot volume in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It describes an initial disk created with 150GB that had only allocated 39GB to the /dev/sda3 partition. The steps shown grow the partition to use the remaining unallocated space, including installing growpart, using growpart to extend the partition, resizing the XFS filesystem with xfs_growfs, and verifying the new larger size.

Hi Team,

Just wanted to share the below information if in case you ever come across. Please Ignore if you already know 

When you create a Custom Boot volume and want to have more space allocated to you under boot.
You would end up with only 39GB on /dev/sda3, even though you still have unallocated space on the disk.

In order to reclaim the unallocated space on the disk and add it to your required boot space, perform below.

 Initial Disk created with 150 GB size


 Lsblk shows total space 150GB and still the space allocated to /dev/sda3 is 39GB

o [opc@blkrtest ~]$ lsblk


o NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
o sda 8:0 0 150G 0 disk
o +-sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part /boot/efi
o +-sda2 8:2 0 8G 0 part [SWAP]
o L-sda3 8:3 0 38.4G 0 part /

[opc@blkrtest ~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 6.7G 0 6.7G 0% /dev
tmpfs 6.8G 0 6.8G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 6.8G 8.6M 6.8G 1% /run
tmpfs 6.8G 0 6.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda3 39G 1.8G 37G 5% /
/dev/sda1 200M 9.8M 191M 5% /boot/efi
tmpfs 1.4G 0 1.4G 0% /run/user/1000
[opc@blkrtest ~]$

 In order to increase the /dev/sda3 space and have unallocated 100GB assigned to it, perform as below
o Install growpart if not present
 [root@blkrtest ~]# which growpart
/usr/bin/which: no growpart in
(/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/ro
ot/bin)
 [root@blkrtest ~]#
o yum install cloud-util*
o [root@blkrtest ~]# which growpart
/bin/growpart
o [root@blkrtest ~]# growpart /dev/sda 3

o Resize xfs type boot


 [root@blkrtest ~]# which xfs_growfs
