/dev/mapper/cloudlinux-root small partition size?

[pekka.saarinen]

On a fresh install of Cloudlinux7 it seems to default the / partition to a 50GB size - Im worried this could cause issues with MySQL (stored in /var/mysql) and other unforeseen problems.

How can it safely be resized?

[root@server /]# df -h

Hello,

You can use LVM as on stock CentOS system, we havent changed this part at all.

You can refer, for example, to these pages:

https://www.rootusers.com/lvm-resize-how-to-increase-an-lvm-partition/

https://www.techbrown.com/linux-lvm-logical-volume-centos-7-rhel-7.shtml

You can also add a separate volume and mount /var/mysql to it.
