I have question about my disk partition,
here is the result from fdisk -l command
Disk /dev/loop0: 4294 MB, 4294967296 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 522 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/xvda: 536.9 GB, 536870912000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 65270 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/xvda1 * 1 26109 209714176 83 Linux
As you can see, i have 500GB space (/dev/xvda) and our cPanel is using only 200GB (/dev/xvda1).
here is the result from lsblk command
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop0 7:0 0 4G 0 loop /tmp
xvda 202:0 0 500G 0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1 0 200G 0 part /
Here you can see i have 500GB disk,
My question is , How i can resize xvda1 so it can use it available space OR How i can can create new disk space to use in our cPanel to use more space.
My aim is to increase the disk space in cPanel but dont know how this is possible.
Thank’s for your help !

Run the following:
sudo yum install cloud-guest-utils
growpart /dev/xvda 1
then reboot
You can use “growpart” to resize the partition and then reszie the file system.
install “cloud-guest-utils” if it is not installed already
apt install cloud-guest-utils
resize partition
growpart /dev/xvda 1
check the result
lsblk
resize filesystem
resize2fs /dev/xvda1
Check after resizing
df -h
Take a snapshot of your volume before trying this.
