The key element from the output above is, I need to increase the partition where the \/u01 mountpoint is located. In my case it is the third partition \/dev\/sda3 which has now 77GB. The parted command shows the size (82.7GB) and the end point of the partition (84GB). The resize command lets to change the end point. I decide to move it to 150G.<\/p>\n\n\n
