Updated from 1 to 2 TB following the instructions and taking into account the extra “1”.

Thanks for the guide!

It seems that Was the culprit :

...
sudo growpart /dev/sda1 1
...

to the correct line of:

...
sudo growpart /dev/sda 1      ( <---- only one 1 )
...

Filesystem at /dev/sda1 is mounted on /mnt/data; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 117, new_desc_blocks = 233
The filesystem on /dev/sda1 is now 488378385 (4k) blocks long.

Worked a charm!

Now, I have my older UmbrelOS Pi4’s on larger SSD’s (2TB & 4TB) / a few Pi5’s running on Faster NVMe (2TB drives) over PoE+ hats.

This was the missing step to my problem(s) !
Nice work! =)

I got foolowed error:

umbrel@umbrel:~$ sudo growpart /dev/sda 1
sudo: growpart: command not found

Asked ChatGPT about that and it guided me to utilized the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install cloud-guest-utils -y

Than run

sudo growpart /dev/sda 1

and followed the rest of the tutorial…

Successfully upgraded from 1TB to 2TB.

Thanks for the tutorial.

As a newbie, you lost me at #12. Have no clue what you are saying. And what does ===== TL;DR: version ===== Stand for?

I appreciate your help, but can you simplify it for someone who doesn’t actually speak any of this lingo? Just a basic computer user?
My son in law helped me set it up a few years ago, but, they are going through some life issues and I don’t want to bother him for now.
Thanks in advance.
