  /dev/sda device - - - 20G -

Cause

VPS was created with lesser HDD Space and SWAP size than the initial sizes in the template.

Resolution

1. Log into SolusVM Master interface.

2. Open Virtual Server and remove created VPS.

   Remove VPS

   

3. Create a new VPS via SolusVM > Virtual Servers > Add Virtual Servers > KVM with HDD Space bigger than the size of the sum of the main partition and SWAP and SWAP bigger than the default value of the template - from the example above - HDD Space should be 22 GB and SWAP - 2000 MB.
