Why isn't my EC2 storage space upgrading?

Question

I ran out of space on my Ec@ ubuntu machine so I added 20gb to my volume. It's been an hour and my machine when I run dh -f still says it only has 7 gb and is 100 percent full. I thought it said it was going to auto increase the space. Not sure whats going on or how to fix it

Answer

Please follow the steps list in this [article](https://engr-syedusmanahmad.medium.com/how-to-increase-the-storage-of-an-ebs-volume-attached-to-an-ec2-instance-without-rebooting-the-a14077709c5) to resize the file system.

Answer

There are a number of steps to increase the filesystem, these are described here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/recognize-expanded-volume-linux.html

Boiling it down, you have to expand the underlying EBS volume (which it sounds like you've already done) and then grow the filesystem using either `xfs_growfs` or `resizefs` depending on the filesystem type.

Can you try following the steps in the link, and if you get stuck then can you post the outputs of `lsblk` and `df -hT` to progress things.
