Hello @rohit09,

We recommend consulting with an experienced system administrator or system administration service provider if you are unfamiliar with disk size manipulation due to the potential for data loss if you execute the wrong command. You can find a list of SafeAdmin certified providers on the link below:


If you're looking for general information about how to resize a partition, please include more information about your server environment:

Code:
 cat /var/cpanel/envtype
 cat /etc/redhat-release
Thank you.
