You may want to add some of this storage to one of your disks if the internal filesystem on it is running low on free space, or just so you can use it in the future.
+    Your Linode's main disk will automatically be resized if the following two criteria are met:

+    1. The destination plan has a larger amount of disk space than the current plan. For example, if you are upgrading from a 2 GB to a 4 GB Linode plan.

     Navigate to your Linode's **Settings** tab and expand the **Advanced Configurations** section to view your disk storage allocation meter. Click on the **more options** link (...) next to the disk you'd like to allocate the extra storage to and select **Resize**.
