The command force root-partition-auto-resize resizes the root partition automatically to the maximum available space on the disk on system boot.
Total 9.1GB is allocated to the root partition in VyOS VM:
vyos@vyos:~$ df -kh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 982M 0 982M 0% /dev
tmpfs 200M 6.1M 194M 4% /run
/dev/sda1 9.1G 364M 8.3G 5% /usr/lib/live/mount/persistence
/dev/loop0 306M 306M 0 100% /usr/lib/live/mount/rootfs/1.3.5.squashfs
tmpfs 998M 0 998M 0% /usr/lib/live/mount/overlay
overlay 9.1G 364M 8.3G 5% /
tmpfs 998M 84K 998M 1% /dev/shm
Now execute the below command followed by reboot to allocate the available free disk space to root partition:
vyos@vyos:~$ force root-partition-auto-resize
vyos@vyos:~$ reboot now
Post reboot, the total available space is 20 GB.
vyos@vyos:~$ df -kh
