How to resize partition in Linux
SSH to your server as root user
Run df -Th | grep "^/dev" to get the device name & also the filesystem type (ext4,XFS,etc)
Grow the partition by running growpart /dev/sda X (where X is the device name and with space)
Once done, use the following command according to your filesystem type to enlarge the partition
EXT4
resize2fs /dev/sdaX
XFS
xfs_growfs /dev/sdaX
Run df -h to determine if the resize is succesful
