I’m running Umbrel on a R Pi with a 1TB SSD. In addition to a Bitcoin node I’m running a number of other applications. My Bitcoin node is crashing due to running out of disk space. What is the easiest way to solve this problem, swap the 1 for a 2TB SSD or add another 1TB SSD? ---

I think the best solution is to replace the 1TB HDD with a 2TB one. If you’re using a Raspberry, the operating system and apps live on the SD card. I suspect the blockchain is the one asking for more space. However, it would be a good idea to check the status of the SD card and its capacity. ---

What would be the best procedure for moving everything from a 1TB SSD to a 2? ---

What exactly were you trying to communicate in this response? ---

I think copying the contents of one HDD to the other would be sufficient. It’s not necessary to clone it, just copy it from one to the other. ---

clone it with clonezilla, then boot an Ubuntu live usb to run gparted and grow it. ---

Did it work well? I am running into the same problem. As an alternative I might just disable the Full Node option and reduce the amount of Blockchain data (I think it is called “prune” in English) ---

I’m currently running on the 2TB SSD. Seems to work just fine. ---

Everything worked out, it was relatively easy: 1. Downloaded Clonezilla Live as a ZIP file from [Clonezilla live](https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php) and flashed it onto a USB stick. Booted Windows PC from this stick and copied the old SSD to the new SSD. 2. Downloaded Gparted Live as a ZIP file from [GParted -- Live CD/USB/PXE/HD](https://gparted.org/livecd.php) and flashed it onto a USB stick as described. Booted Windows PC from this stick and enlarged the partition. I probably could have cloned the SSD with another program, but I didn’t want to risk it. And this one makes me think and I decided to no longer keep my Lightning node running with the current amount. I will heavily reduce it and provide only a BitCoin Core Node to the public: [https://community.umbrel.com/t/how-to-access-my-wallet-if-my-raspberry-umbrel-breaks-up/23553/3](https://community.umbrel.com/t/how-to-access-my-wallet-if-my-raspberry-umbrel-breaks-up/23553/3)
