Can't resize Linux volume

0

Hi there

I have an EC2 instance that uses xen that has run out of disc space. I successfully resized the storage volume, but I'm stuck trying to increase the partition size. The command sudo growpart /dev/xvda1 1 returns FAILED: unable to determine partition type

Any ideas?

I see your issue.. You are using the partition in the grow command instead of the disk..

Try this

sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1

Follow these instructions. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/recognize-expanded-volume-linux.html

It looks like you are trying to resize the AWS disk device than what the Linux OS sees it as..

sudo lsblk

Will display the volumes from Linux point of view

  • Thanks - but I thought I had already done that. The output from the lsblk command is NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT xvda 202:0 0 50G 0 disk └─xvda1 202:1 0 30G 0 part /

    So my understanding is that the partition is xvda1...
