HI all

I want to add 5GB extra space to an existing VPS, but it doesn't work.

I run vzctl --set 1001 --diskspace 15G:16G, but when I run df -H from within the VPS, I see the following:

 df -H
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
simfs                  8.9G   5.4G   2.6G  68% /


And this is on the hostnode:

 vzquota show 1001
vzquota : (warning) Quota is running, so data reported from quota file may not reflect current values
   resource          usage       softlimit      hardlimit    grace
  1k-blocks        3374996        15728640       16777216
     inodes         122722          600000         660000


So it seems like it's supposed to have updated, but it didn't. How do I add more space to the VPS?

I'm having the same problem. What is your host OS and what template are you using for the VPS?

I'm using CentOS 5.1 for my host and i've tried CentOS 5 Minimal, Default and CentOS 4 Default, still doesn't work. They always create a VPS that has 1.8GB of space.

How much free space do you have on the host node filesystem that contains /vz ?

Can you post the output of df on the host node?

I see the partition that this VEID resides on is full, which explains this problem. How do I move the VM's to a new partition sucsessfully?

Ok, in my case the partition where the containers got created was too small. I moved the containers to a new partition, and all is well Smile
