another 5GB but the system was pretty unresponsive due to lack of disk

this in Xen and it took an absolute age to shut down. Booted and resized
disk successfully, but...
Was there a reason why you couldn't grow the disk before/without
rebooting?
Status: "MariaDB server is down"
What does MariaDB say in its error log as you try to start it? You
can normally find that at /var/log/mysql/error.log on Debian,
probably the same for Ubuntu.
$ tail -F /var/log/mysql/error.log
then in another window
$ sudo systemctl start mariadb
Webmin also returns this fault code when prompted to
start the DB:
DBI connect failed : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
Just means that mariadb isn't running.
Cheers,
Andy
