After creating new volume from snapshot lsblk shows old size

Question

Hi, I have created a new volume from a snapshot and increased it’s size to 100 GB, then attached the volume to my instance. But I can not grow the partitions and lsblk doesn’t show a bigger volume.

Here is the output of lsblk:

❯ lsblk

NAME     MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS

loop0      7:0    0  25.1M  1 loop /snap/amazon-ssm-agent/5656

loop1      7:1    0  24.4M  1 loop /snap/amazon-ssm-agent/6312

loop2      7:2    0  49.6M  1 loop /snap/snapd/17883

loop10     7:10   0  55.6M  1 loop /snap/core18/2654

loop11     7:11   0 111.9M  1 loop /snap/lxd/24322

xvda     202:0    0    16G  0 disk 
├─xvda1  202:1    0  15.9G  0 part /

├─xvda14 202:14   0     4M  0 part

└─xvda15 202:15   0   106M  0 part /boot/efi

Here is the output of

> sudo resize2fs /dev/xvda1

resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
The filesystem is already 4165883 (4k) blocks long.  Nothing to do!

Does anyone knows what could be the cause of the issue?

Thank you very much.

Answer

Is this ext4 or xfs file system? `resize2fs` is for ext4.

Also probably you need to run `growpart` command first. `sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1`

Sorry I'm reading this only now. Have you fixed it?

What's the output of `fdisk -l`?
