### Using the resize functionality

- [I/O flavors](../../cloud/pouta/vm-flavors-and-billing.md#io-flavors_2) and [GPU flavors](../../cloud/pouta/vm-flavors-and-billing.md#gpu-flavors_2) cannot be resized because data in the root and ephemeral disks are not copied when the resize functionality is used. This means that your machine won't be able to boot and the message "No bootable device" will be displayed in the console. We recommend to use [snapshots](../../cloud/pouta/snapshots.md#launching-a-snapshot-from-the-web-interface).

Keep in mind that when creating a snapshot, only the contents of the root disk will be preserved. If you have data located in the ephemeral disk (usually in the `/mnt` directory), you can back up your data in a [volume](../../cloud/pouta/persistent-volumes.md) or in `Allas` using a tool such as [rclone](../../data/Allas/using_allas/rclone.md) or [s3cmd](../../data/Allas/using_allas/s3_client.md)

It's possible to resize from a `standard` flavor *family* to a `hpc` flavor *family*. Nothing will prevent you to do that but it's **highly not recommended!**

You may lose data during the process and CSC is not responsible. We recommend to only resize to the flavors of the same *family* (except for I/O flavors, see above).
