How to increase AWS EBS NVME size

Question

I have upgraded an EC2 instance from m4 to m5, and now I want to increase the volume.

I did perform this command and got the error:

growpart /dev/nvme0n1         


        

Answer 1

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

growpart [OPTIONS] DISK PARTITION-NUMBER

$ lsblk
NAME          MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
nvme0n1       259:0    0  16G  0 disk 
├─nvme0n1p1   259:1    0   8G  0 part /
└─nvme0n1p128 259:2    0   1M  0 part 

So to grow the partition, we use the diskname nvme0n1 (see disk under TYPE) and desired partition is 1

sudo growpart /dev/nvme0n1 1

And then to extend the fs - resize2fs device [ size ]

(device refers to the location of the target filesystem)

$ df -h
Filesystem                                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                                   470M   52K  470M   1% /dev
tmpfs                                      480M     0  480M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/nvme0n1p1                             7.8G  7.7G  3.1M 100% /

So to extend the fs, we use the device name /dev/nvme01np1:

sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1p1

Voila!

$ df -h
Filesystem                                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                                   470M   52K  470M   1% /dev
tmpfs                                      480M     0  480M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/nvme0n1p1                              16G  7.7G  7.9G  50% /
