one more issue that i have found. i had smaller files 2 GB each. which i replace by 4GB files so that i could test if i need to increase the size of storage at some time later. eventually all the files has been replace with new one successfully however when i pass the command "df -h" it showed me the old partition size. how can i re claim the remaining empty partition.
