[ANSWERED] Storage from terminated instance not added to existing instances

0

I had three EC2 instances and ran out of space on the instance running Cloud9, so I terminated one of the other instance, however even after 8 hours the storage from the terminated instance has not been added to any of the other two instances. The terminated instance stays terminated and does not display on the EC2 instances' dashboard.

I explored the AWS Docs and realized:

  1. The storage isn't added (aka attached) automatically!
  2. If you have already terminated your EC2 instance, like I had, you need to create a new EC2 instance, then detach the storage from this newly created instance and attach it to your existing instance and finally mount it.

Deepest appreciation for the thorough and detailed official documentation of AWS.
