The `growpart` utility allows you to resize partitions. If you have increased the size of the partition's underlying volume, for example, you can increase the size of the partition to make use of the additional space.

Although there is no direct way to change the storage class of a volume while preserving its ID, you can still convert a Block Storage legacy volume (along with its data) into a Block Storage Low Latency volume using the snapshot export/import features as a temporary solution. This allows you to transition a Block Storage legacy (`b_ssd`) snapshot into a Block Storage Low Latency (`sbs_5k` or `sbs_15k`) snapshot and then turn the snapshot into a Block Storage Low Latency volume.
