Hi Markus,

I would save the firewall configuration, deploy a larger disk with a fresh 18.1 install, and restore your configuration on that.

This also gives you an easy roll-back by going back to your old drive.

If you have a VM and created a snapshot... Run this from the console:

# touch /.probe.for.growfs.nano

And reboot...
