# Manually extend a Zesty Disk filesystem

This topic describes how to manually extend a Zesty Disk filesystem.

Manually extending may be necessary if there is a connectivity issue between the instance and the Zesty Disk backend.

> Manual actions may be reverted automatically by the Zesty Disk backend according to the Zesty Disk algorithm and the state of the filesystem.

You can extend in the following ways:

- [Manually extend a Btrfs-based Zesty Disk filesystem](/v1/docs/manually-extend-a-btrfs-based-zesty-disk-filesystem)
- [Manually extend a ZFS-based Zesty Disk filesystem](/v1/docs/manually-extend-a-zfs-based-zesty-disk-filesystem)
