Wrong GB count in the system

[Jarekk]

Hi,

I upgraded my 250 GB SSD to a 500 GB SSD as I needed more space. I used Clonezilla to clone the small disc to the large one. My system is fully encrypted with I made sure to select "k1" and "r" options to automatically enlarge the partition into the size of the bigger drive. Everything went fine and I was able to use the "new" system right after I changed the discs.

My problem is that although Gparted shows that the partition was properly resized to the maximum size, the system can see only 238 GB.

I checked it and the system does not allow to copy any file that exceeds the 238GB size.

Is there any way to tell the system the real size of the partition?

Thanks
Jarek

Clonezilla has done what it can. It knows about partitions and the data inside partitions, but it can't re-work that data to adjust the size of the logical volume /dev/mapper/mint--vg-root or the size of the ext4 file-system in that volume. So your problem is just normal for a cloned encrypted Mint. Next step is like this...

...to make the Logical Volume bigger, then make the EXT4 inside that volume bigger, too. Both operations can be performed while the OS is running (it says here) but I have never tried it.
