Hi there, I’ve freshly installed syncloud-amd64-uefi-23.06.img.xz to my server using Etcher, activated it, and installed updates. I’ve referenced this wiki page: [Home · syncloud/platform Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/syncloud/platform/wiki/Boot-from-SATA) but when I try to use the Extend button in the Internal Memory menu the loading screen pops up and then just goes away and still shows: `Partition - 3G`. I’ve also tried using the `/snap/platform/current/bin/boot_extend.sh` command over SSH, but I get the following output: ```auto /snap/platform/current/bin/boot_extend.sh Warning: Not all of the space available to /dev/sda appears to be used, you can fix the GPT to use all of the space (an extra 227099469 blocks) or continue with the current setting?

> [@Shoobledoops](#): > > ` awk: command not found` looks like our latest image lost awk tool, as a workaround could you install it and see if that helps? ```auto apt install awk ``` Then run extend again: ```auto /snap/platform/current/bin/boot_extend.sh ``` ---

Apt install gave me options for original-awk, mawk, and gawk. I went with gawk, and that seems to have worked. Thank you for the help 🙂 ---

Yes sorry I realised it is a bit more broken than I thought, just published a fixed image, could you try that?

Sure thing. I won’t be able to tonight, but I’ll try to get to it in the next couple days. ---

That new build seems to be working well. I was able to get it installed, extended, and updated through the UI without any issues.
