I upgraded my disk space (or Panix gave everyone more free disk space), but my disks are still the same size. How do I access the additional space?

If you upgrade your server, or we increase the amount of disk that comes with your class of V-Colo, you have access to more GB of disk space, but you still have to add that space to an existing virtual disk, or create a new virtual disk. You can do this in the Control Panel’s Disks tab. Once you create a new disk, or resize an existing one, you need to make sure that your OS handles it correctly. For a new disk, make sure it’s being mounted. If it’s an old disk, you’ll likely need to use an OS utility to resize the partition on the disk (since the disk is now bigger). This utility varies depending on the OS and filesystem you’re using.
