First, use lsblk to see the raw partitions:
|
|
# df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/nvme0n1p1 xfs 20G 2.8G 18G 14% / # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT nvme0n1 259:0 0 40G 0 disk ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 20G 0 part / └─nvme0n1p128 259:2 0 1M 0 part |
Note how the partition at 259:1 is only 20GB, while the entire disk at 259:0 is 40GB. A partition resize is required in this case.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 |

For an EXT4 filesystem, use the resize2fs command instead:
|
|
sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1p1 |

As always, YMMV…

I had to replace an ailing root volume on AWS, so I decided to double the size when I created the new volume from snapshot. After booting, I realized that df still showed the old filesystem size of 10GB, not the new size of 20GB Here is the solution: resize2fs /dev/xvda1
|
|
root@prod02:/root # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 9.9G 6.4G 3.4G 66% / root@prod02:/root # resize2fs /dev/xvda1 resize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) Filesystem at /dev/xvda1 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required old desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 2 Performing an on-line resize of /dev/xvda1 to 5242880 (4k) blocks. The filesystem on /dev/xvda1 is now 5242880 blocks long. root@prod02:/root # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 20G 6.4G 14G 33% / |

PROCEDURE FOR NON-ROOT FILESYSTEMS: Run the df command and record the device path for the mount point you wish to grow. Unmount the filesystem to insure consistency. Detach the volume from the instance. Create a snapshot of the unmounted filesystem. Create a volume from the snapshot, specifying a larger size in the new volume form. […]

To change the volume in smaller increments on MacOSX Snow Leopard, hold down Shift-Option when pressing either the Volume-Up or the Volume-Down keys. You should see the volume indicator show a fractional portion of the normal scale selected:

Stop MySQL and move the existing database files to the EBS volume.
|
|
service mysqld stop mkdir /data/mysql mv /var/lib/mysql/ /data/mysql/lib/ |
Use the bind option to the mount command in the /etc/fstab file to direct MySQL to the correct files, then restart:
|
|
mkdir /var/lib/mysql echo "/data/mysql/lib /var/lib/mysql none bind" | tee -a /etc/fstab mount /var/lib/mysql service mysqld start |

First, use the AWS management console to create and attach a new volume. Note the device name, in our example /dev/sdf.
|
|
# yum install xfsprogs-devel # mkfs.xfs /dev/sdf # echo "/dev/sdf /data xfs noatime 0 0" | tee -a /etc/fstab # mkdir -m 000 /data # mount /data # df -h # mount |
You now have a 10 GB (or whatever size you specified) EBS volume mounted under /data with an XFS file system, and it will be automatically mounted if the instance reboots.
