Can Plesk manage disk space or extend a partition on Linux based server?

Question

Can Plesk manage disk space or extend a partition on a Linux-based server?

Answer

Plesk does not manage disk space on the server.

If the server is running out of disk space, the following can be done:

• Clean up temporary files as per the following article.

• Remove old backups and their logs that may occupy disk space.

• If it is possible, add a new disk. Change the default virtual hosts/mailbox/backup location so they are stored on this new disk.

• If the server filesystem has configured LVM, it is possible to extend the partition in accordance with the official virtual machine documentation.
