AWS EC2 Disk Problem

Question

I use Amazon and I have an EC2 instance running Centos 6.5.

I recently went to change the machine’s disk. I made the procedure of turning off the machine to take a snapshot of the old disk and climb a new one with the larger space.

When I rewired the machine it shows me that the bar partition has 7.8GB. When in fact the new disk is 20GB.

Command df -h:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvde       7,8G  7,3G   90M  99% /
tmpfs           828M     0  828M   0% /dev/shm

Command lsblk:

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvde 202:64   0  20G  0 disk /
xvdj 202:144  0   8G  0 disk

If repair the partition /dev/xvde has 20GB and is mounted correctly so that in the partition information only appears 8GB.

Apart from increasing the volume, you need to resize the file system with resize2fs or similar. As described in this part of the documentation.
