Instructions

To take advantage of the extra space, you have a choice of:

• Resizing your existing filesystem to occupy the new space
  • Shutdown your Linode
  • Members -> Disk Images -> Click on your root filesystem -> Enter in new size, and Save Changes
  • Boot your Linode
• Creating new empty disk images
  
  • Members -> Disk Images, scroll down to "Create an Empty Disk Image"
  • Enter a label (for example: "disk2")
  • Enter in the size (use the "Storage Summary" box in the upper-right corner)
  • Choose "ext3" for filesystem type, and Create Disk
  • Members -> Configurations -> Click on your config
  • Add your new "disk2" to an open /dev/ubd? slot. Save
  • Reboot your Linode
  • Log into your Linode, and as root: "mount /dev/ubd[insert device letter here] /path/to/mountpoint" where path/to/mountpoint is an existing directory
• Deploying more Linux Installations
  • Why, just use the Distro Wizard! Experiment with a new distro or something

Thank you for your business! Enjoy!

And the cmr appears to be increased as well.

The increase came just in time as well.

Adam

you the man chris

i thought you add space for me by mistake, that's why i come back and check, thanks Chris

Chris,

Just a note that the chart under "Retro-active to all Existing Customers NOW" is incorrect...

The additional space for a Linode 96 should be 1536MB, not 2304MB (2304 is the additional space an annual subscriber would get)

The other Linodes are probably listed wrong too, but I don't know...

Chris, your timing is impeccable. I've spent the last couple of days combing through my list of RPMs trying to find some to remove. After hosting e-mail for, count 'em, three people for about six months, my mail partition (1GB) is getting dangerously full. You just solved a big problem for me. How we gathered so much mail in six months, I have no idea. At least now I won't have to worry until later.

Thanks Chris. You rock!
