Step 4: Extend the file system
Once the data volume enters the optimizing state, you can use file system-specific commands to extend the file system to the new, larger size.
For more information about extending the file system, see Extend a Linux file system after resizing a volume.
To extend the file system
-
In the Amazon EC2 console, on the EC2 Dashboard, choose Instances, and select
tutorial-volumes -
To connect to your instance, choose Connect, ensure EC2 Instance Connect is selected, and then choose Connect.
-
In the terminal window, use the following command to get the size of the file system.
[ec2-user ~]$df -hTThe following example output shows that the file system size of the data volume
/dev/nvme1n1is 8 GB. In the previous procedure, you increased the data volume size to 16 GB. Now you need to extend the file system to take advantage of the added storage.
-
Use the following command to extend the XFS file system that is mounted on the
/datamount point.[ec2-user ~]$sudo xfs_growfs -d/data -
Use the following command again to verify that the file system has been extended.
[ec2-user ~]$df -hTThe following example output shows that the file system size of
/dev/nvme1n1is the same as the data volume size.
