I have followed the steps for resizing an EC2 volume
1. Stopped the instance
2. Took a snapshot of the current volume
3. Created a new volume out of the previous snapshot with a bigger size in the same region
4. Deattached the old volume from the instance
5. Attached the new volume to the instance at the same mount point
Old volume was 5GB and the one I created is 100GB Now, when i restart the instance and run df -h I still see this
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvde1 4.7G 3.5G 1021M 78% /
tmpfs 296M 0 296M 0% /dev/shm
This is what I get when running
sudo resize2fs /dev/xvde1
The filesystem is already 1247037 blocks long. Nothing to do!
If I run cat /proc/partitions I see
202 64 104857600 xvde
202 65 4988151 xvde1
202 66 249007 xvde2
From what I understand if I have followed the right steps xvde should have the same data as xvde1 but I don't know how to use it
How can I use the new volume or umount xvde1 and mount xvde instead?
I cannot understand what I am doing wrong
I also tried sudo ifs_growfs /dev/xvde1
xfs_growfs: /dev/xvde1 is not a mounted XFS filesystem
Btw, this a linux box with centos 6.2 x86_64
Thanks in advance for your help
