8 Extend the OCI Instance Disk Space

To recover extra disk space on a Linux 7 or older machine, use the growpart command.

Note:

These instructions only apply to Forms images using Linux 7 or older. If you are using Linux 8 or newer, please disregard this section.

On initial access to the instance, only about 40 GB of disk space is available. After executing this command and rebooting the machine, about 75 GB will be available unless a custom size was selected at provisioning time.

To recover extra disk space:

  1. Execute the growpart command as the root user:
    growpart /dev/sda 3
  2. Reboot the machine.
