Before the beans learned how to add a new hard disk to EC2 Linux, how do I extend an existing hard drive? The basic idea is simple, back up the current hard disk, then create a new hard disk based on the backup, disconnect the old hard disk, connect the new hard disk, scan and expand the partition


First create a 2G hard drive to connect to the EC2 instance

Then the basic operation is as follows, query the current connection of the volume, you can use the fdisk-l or LSBLK command, can display the current connected disk

Then format the new disk partition

Create a/ebs mount point, load the hard disk, and create a testfile empty file on it as a test

Next, let's see how to extend this 2G hard drive


First of all, it should be umount This example

How to make a backup of him

Named Test.

This snapshot can be seen in snapshot's operator panel after creation

Create a new volume with this test snapshot

I expanded the space to 3G when I created it.

Then detach the original 2G hard drive, attach the new 3G HDD

Scan the currently loaded hard drive

Because this drive is from a snapshot, there is already a file system and I created a test document, you can use file to view the filesystem

No formatting required, direct mount can be

Query the loaded device with df-h, find size or 2G

You need to expand the partition table and then query the dimensions again after the expansion.

The files you created earlier are still there!
