Problem with enlarge a non root filesystem

0

Hi all, good Sunday everyone, appreciate your help on my issue below

I have an EC2 instance and it has a filesystem which is a volume of 100G mounted on a folder. The filesystem is ext4 and is encrypted if that matters. I am running out of space on that volume. The volume does not appear to have any partition as lsblk does not show any partition.

I followed the information from this link https://www.daniloaz.com/en/how-to-enlarge-the-size-of-an-ebs-volume-in-aws-and-extend-an-ext4-partition/. I basically unmounted it first, took a snapshot of the volume and then made a new volume from the snapshot with the size of 200G (double the original 100). I then mounted the new volume.

Now from lsblk, it shows"xvdf 202:80 0 200G 0 disk /var/www/html", but from df -v it still shows "/dev/xvdf 103081248 58847604 38974380 61% /var/www/html". Still the same 100G and not increased to 200G.

What I missed doing here?

Thanks in advanced

I missed performing the resize2fs command in case others find it helpful.

Thanks.

Any help or pointer? becoming desperate. I guess I can make a new 200G volume and copy the data from old one to the new one as a workaround...

Thanks.

Hi There

After the volume is increased, you would need to resize the filesystem as mentioned earlier. Once that is done, you will see the changes in df output.
