Hello,

I've a OpenServer Dell  running R80.20 JHF183 configured security gateway.

My question about this isuue:

1.) How to expand partion root ?

2.) What are best practies or recomende value for this OpenServer Dell R730?

You may try to resize the current partition using LVM manager as per sk95566.
I would do a backup/migrate export using R80.40 tools, install R80.40 from scratch using sufficient partition sizes and then import the database.
Best practises? Dunno. I usually use round about 50 GB for root.

edit: I see you have this open server as gateway. So forget suggested migration tools.

Looks like your firewall has ~128 GB SSDs? If so, oof. Even firewalls want ~200 GB or more now. My personal lab standalone has a 400 GB SSD with 60 GB in lv_current, then I made lv_log as big as I could with the remaining space.

Thanks for Feedback - I did sk95566 and expand up to 22GB - the max. After then upgrade to R80.40 JHF89 was fine  -every thing works good.

Danke
