I have resized the virtual device. I see the new size in YaST but df -h does not show the new size.

So btrfs filesystem resize max / ends w/o error, but does not resize anything.

How is the correct way to resize the btrfs partition?

@ELzAR Hi, you don’t indicate what operating system and release your on? Have a read here: [https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000018798](https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000018798)

Don’t forget to backup first either!!!
