gcloud instance disk space

I am trying to do some computing on cloud. For this I created a computing instance and then I attached an external storage with about 10TB. But it seemed that I did something wrong and I got only 200GB available for my datalab. Any comment will be helpful

To check this I used

df -h 

and

sudo lsblk

Thanks.

Answer

As I can see from lsblk command, you have the right size of your datalab-pd disk. But you can use only 196 Gb. I think this may be because the file system does not occupy the entire disk space. Need to extend the file system. As an example if you have ext3 fs need to do:

- umount /dev/sdb # Unmount your disk
- e2fsck /dev/sdb # Check file system in your disk
- resize2fs /dev/sdb 

resize2fs command without any parameters will extend filesystem to all free space on disk.
