NethServer GUI does not support XFS expansion

How clone HDD for NethServer?

Three tools used: Clonezilla: after shutdown and connect the new disk, I boot from Clonezilla to clone the existing drive to the empty one gParted: i shut down again the server, detached the old drive then booted a live distro with gParted, which allowed extension of XFS partition to fit size of the disk Cockpit: from storage manager of cockpit, i was able to extend the size of LVM to fit XFS partition on live use of the server. Unfortunately, xfs do not allow shri…

I had different experience… I also installed LVM management on cockpit.

Edit: I extended the partition after extending via gParted the XFS filesystem. But several years passed and probably i don’t remember all details.
