Login to the EC2 Console.
\nGo down to Elastic Block Store.
\nSelect Volumes.
\nSelect the volume
\nClick Actions and then Modify Volume.
\nEnter the new size and click Modify.<\/p>\n

At this point, you will need to extend your volumes and partitions.<\/p>\n

In this case, I was not using LVM, so it was a pretty simple process.<\/p>\n

Check to see which partition you want to extend:<\/p>\n

$ df -hT
\n\/dev\/xvda1 xfs 8G 8.7G 8G 97% \/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Determine the block device and the partition number:<\/p>\n

$ lsblk
\nNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
\nxvda 202:0 0 8G 0 disk
\n\u00e2\u201d\u201d\u00e2\u201d\u20acxvda1 202:1 0 8G 0 part \/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Expand to partition to all the available unallocated storage on the disk:<\/p>\n

$ sudo growpart \/dev\/xvda 1<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Verify to see if the partition has been extended.<\/p>\n

$ lsblk
\nNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
\nxvda 202:0 0 30G 0 disk

Extend the filesystem on the partition:<\/p>\n

$ sudo xfs_growfs -d \/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Verify:<\/p>\n

$ df -h
