November 16, 20232 yr Hello, I use an unnasigned SSD to store the appdata for various services. I recently started using Photoprism and it started eating up the 500gb quickly due to thumbnails. So I decided to upgrade the drive to 2TB. I have an offline cloning device that I used to clone the 500GB --> 2TB drive. Now, when using the 2TB SSD in the server, it still shows up as 512GB total. How do I expand the drive to the full 2TB? Thank you Edited November 16, 20232 yr by UnBeastRaid
November 16, 20232 yr Community Expert You will need to first expand the partition and then the filesystem, the filesystem is easy, the partition you'll need to look it up, it's not something I ever needed to do, might be easier to re-format that disk in UD and copy the old data.
