Resizing a btrfs Volume

Resizing a Btrfs Volume

If you're using a block device for backups on a cloud provider, Enhance uses the Btrfs file system to store backups. If you increase the size of the block device or volume with your cloud provider, the new space won't be recognized by the backup system until the file system is resized manually.

Resize Command

To resize the Btrfs file system and allow the backup system to recognize the additional space, run the following command:

btrfs filesystem resize max /mountpoint

• Replace /mountpoint with the actual mount point of your backup storage, e.g., /backups.

This command will resize the file system to use the maximum available space on the block device.
