I'd like to provide you complex solution how to fight with attack and predict them. I implemented fail2ban and integrated DoS filter of Zimbra to defeat of attack on the mail server. Client's server was attacked, and one email account was hacked. Hackers sent a lot of email 2 days. The server was added to blacklists and client had email from ISP provider that it has complaint from other clients and solve urgent the issue the spam from your server.

So, I will give you some advice how to avoid such situation and how to set your server from attack.

How to increase disk size in Zimbra on virtual machine

If you face the issue with free space on our disk in Zimbra and decide to increase the size, I propose you to consider two scenarios: 

First - You have less than 4 partitions in your virtual disk, like below and you need to extend the disk.

Disk /dev/sda:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda1   *        2048     2099199     1048576   83  Linux

/dev/sda2         2099200   419430399   208665600   8e  Linux LVM

/dev/sda3       419430400   629145599   104857600   8e  Linux LVM


Second - You have 4 partitions in your virtual disk,

Disk /dev/sda:  

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda1   *        2048     2099199     1048576   83  Linux

/dev/sda2         2099200   419430399   208665600   8e  Linux LVM

/dev/sda3       419430400   629145599   104857600   8e  Linux LVM

/dev/sda4       629145600   671088639    20971520   8e  Linux LVM
