The following is the current status of my disk:

sr0 11:0 1 1.4G 0 rom
I added sda4 as above, is there any way to increase the root capacity to sda4?

You can extend the VG and LV by commands:
pvcreate /dev/sda4
vgextend ubuntu--vg /dev/sda4
lvextend -L+4GB /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
The last command add 4 GB space to /
and then extend your filesystem. It it's ext4 use command:
resize2fs /
If its XFS you can use command
xfs_growfs -d /
Both resize commands can be done on the fly (w/o unmount the filesystem)

I am not so into Linux and I have the following problem: I have to discover how much is the sapce of an hard drive of a server (it should be a virtual machine, I don't know if it makes some difference). I performed the following statment obtaining this output (I am absolutly not sure if it is the right way):
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 797M 912K 796M 1% /run
/dev/sda3 64G 5.3G 56G 9% /
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/loop0 87M 87M 0 100% /snap/core/4486
/dev/loop1 90M 90M 0 100% /snap/core/6818
tmpfs 797M 0 797M 0% /run/user/1021
I can only use terminal because I am connected vis SSH.
But I am not understanding what represents my storage drive? How can I understand it? What is it?
As I understand it, sda, sdb, sdc, etc. is referring to the physical/virtual hard drive. You can think of them like C:, E: etc. on Windows. The number '3' in this case is referring to a partition on the drive. Since this partition is mounted to root or '/' this is most likely the main partition on your drive.
So to answer your actual question on /dev/sda3 it looks like you have 56GB available out of 64GB.

I'm trying to mount two instance storages in my ec2 instance and before creating an AMI, I just want to try it's mounting those storages at the right mount point. But as soon as I stop and start my instance after mounting, I'm unable to connect. Looks like it's unable to boot even though ec2 console shows they are running.
I get this right after I create my instance(i2.2xlarge):
[root#xxxxx ec2-user]# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda 202:0 0 300G 0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1 0 300G 0 part /
xvdb 202:16 0 745.2G 0 disk
xvdc 202:32 0 745.2G 0 disk
Then I format and mount those two to two different location.
[root#xxxx ec2-user]# mkfs -t ext4 /dev/xvdc
[root#xxxx ec2-user]# mkfs -t ext4 /dev/xvdc
Here is my fstab:
#
LABEL=/ / ext4 defaults,noatime 1 1
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/xvdb /media/ephemeral0 ext4 defaults,nofail,comment=cloudconfig 0 2
/dev/xvdc /media/ephemeral1 ext4 defaults,nofail,comment=cloudconfig 0 2
After I mount them, I get this which I want at the end:
[root#xxxxxx ec2-user]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1 493G 1.2G 491G 1% /
devtmpfs 30G 68K 30G 1% /dev
tmpfs 31G 0 31G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/xvdb 734G 69M 697G 1% /media/ephemeral0
/dev/xvdc 734G 69M 697G 1% /media/ephemeral1
At this point, when I want to stop and start the instance, I'm unable to connect that instance. I know those two are ephemeral storage and I don't care it's content. But I want to recreate several similar instances like this, so before creating an AMI, I just wanted to test it to see after I restart this instance, it keeps mount configuration.
What I am doing wrong?
This issue is a major problem while working with paritioning. The root cause of problem is SElinux which is refusing SSH connection
Here are the steps which will solve your issue :
Step 1 : Create the volume in AWS Console and attach it to instance. (Assuming you know this already!)
Step 2 : By default it is always mounted on /dev/xvdc, please create the partition using fdisk and confirm the lsblk output, it should look like below:
$ sudo fdisk /dev/xvdc
Use options N to create a new partition and all the defaults for creating 1 full partition for entire volume and option W to write the partition in the filesystem
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda 202:0 0 8G 0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1 0 8G 0 part /
xvdc 202:80 0 20G 0 disk
└─xvdc1 202:81 0 20G 0 part
*All the work ahead would be done on this xvdfc partition, make sure you are NOT using /dev/xvdc anywhere.
Step 3 : Format the below partition using
$ sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/xvdc1
Step 4: Make the entry in fstab as below:
/dev/xvdf1 /var ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2
Hope that helps :)

For the purpose of learning, I wanted to create a mini-replica of my hard disk:
$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 244M 0 part /boot
└─sda3 8:3 0 930.8G 0 part

├─host--vg-swap_1 254:3 0 11.9G 0 lvm [SWAP]
├─host--vg-tmp 254:4 0 380M 0 lvm /tmp
└─host--vg-home 254:5 0 890G 0 lvm /home
In my particular case, setting up a new device so it looks like my hard disk requires familiarity with many things, creating partitions, creating LUKS devices, opening them, creating LVM volumes etc, so I regard this as a worthy exercise, at least for someone who is new to Linux.
So I first needed a new device to play with, without messing up anything else:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=loopfile bs=1M count=1024
$ sudo losetup /dev/loop1 loopfile
(using loop1 rather than loop0 which is already taken for some other purpose, also zero good enough for this exercise so ignoring urandom).
My first objective was to mimic the partitions sda1/sda2/sda3
$ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="08FC-EA23" TYPE="vfat" ...
/dev/sda2: UUID="30b5d595-4986-4f75-962a-7e1f5f03ed4a" TYPE="ext2" ...
/dev/sda3: UUID="a84cc598-9316-48b9-94a9-bb4885e45e9c" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" ...
$ sudo parted /dev/loop1
So I went and created three 'primary' partitions (using 'fat32' for the first one and 'ext2' for other two, not too sure why just guessing) with all sizes reduced by a factor of 1000:
(parted) print
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 512B 1000kB 1000kB primary fat32 lba
2 1049kB 2097kB 1049kB primary ext2 lba
3 2097kB 1074MB 1072MB primary ext2 lba
and I then formatted the three devices in line with the previous blkid report:
sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/loop1p1
sudo mkfs -t ext2 /dev/loop1p2
sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop1p3
So at this point, my parted print report looks good as well as lsblk and blkid:
$ lsblk
loop1 7:1 0 1G 0 loop
├─loop1p1 259:0 0 976.5K 0 loop
├─loop1p2 259:1 0 1M 0 loop
└─loop1p3 259:2 0 1022M 0 loop
$ sudo blkid
/dev/loop1p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="1CD8-2CA5" TYPE="vfat" ...
/dev/loop1p2: UUID="6532dba9-3101-488e-a6d1-e5e1ef4943f7" TYPE="ext2" ...
/dev/loop1p3: UUID="a0e96a54-6d6a-49c8-80fd-03217b25062f" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" ...
/dev/loop1: PTUUID="1de285f7" PTTYPE="dos"
So I thought I was on the right track. I also thought that my file loopfile which underlies my loop device would contain of the necessary metadata so I do not need to worry about rebooting. As I am only playing with devices (not mounting them) I assumed there is no need for any /etc/fstab setup...
The issue I have is that when I reboot, some of the set up seems to be lost. After re-creating the loop device from loopfile, the parted print report still shows me the partitions (albeit with lost information on type), but these partitions no longer appear on the lsblk or the blkid reports. I was wondering if there was a way of making my set up persistant. I am on Debian 8, in case this matters.
You need to run losetup -P /dev/loop1 loopfile. What this does is tell the kernel to perform a partition table scan of the newly added file.

First of all, I'm a total noob at hadoop and linux.I have a cluster of five nodes , which when starts shows a each node capacity only 46.6 GB while each machine had around 500 gb space which i dont know how to allocate to these nodes.
(1) Do I have to change the datanode and namenode file size(i checked these and it shows the same space remaining as in the Datanode information tab)? if so how should i do that.
(2)Also this 500gb disk is only shown when i do $lsblk command and not when i do $df -H command. Does that mean its not mounted? These are the results of the commands. Can someone explain what does this mean..

Please help. Thanks in advance.
First can someone help me understand why its showing different memory disks and what it means and where does it reside ?! I seem to not able to figure it out
You are right. Your second disk (sdb) is not mounted anywhere. If you are going to dedicate the whole disk to hadoop data, here is how you should format and mount it:
Format your disk:
mkfs.ext4 -m1 -O dir_index,extent,sparse_super /dev/sdb
For mounting edit the file /etc/fstab. Add this line:
/dev/sdb /hadoop/disk0 ext4 noatime 1 2
After that, create the directory /hadoop/disk0 (it doesn't have to be named like that. you could use a directory of your choice).
mkdir -p /hadoop/disk0
Now you are ready to mount the disk:
mount -a
Finally, you should let hadoop know that you want to use this disk as hadoop storage. Your /etc/hadoop/conf/hdfs-site.xml should contain these config parameters
<property><name>dfs.name.dir</name><value>/hadoop/disk0/nn</value></property>
<property><name>dfs.data.dir</name><value>/hadoop/disk0/dn</value></property>

I've installed a simple LAMP system based on Debian 7.2.0 (32 bits). On my server I want to know when each of PHP files was used (accessed) by web server. When I check last access times of php files (with command ls -alu), they are wrong.
I've found that it is because of relatime option used for mounting of the root filesystem. I've tried to edit my /etc/fstab and to put norelatime,atime options there but it does not work. My current /etc/fstab is:
UUID=d4bb10f1-1428-4ee4-916c-55e800263c3f / ext4 atime,norelatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=6db7a3c7-6ff9-43ac-b959-5175039bb84b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
After a reboot, when I type mount, I get:
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=127786,mode=755)

tmpfs on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=352700k)
All the partitions have relatime option. Any help?
http://www.linux-archive.org/fedora-development/120241-why-relatime-immune-remount.html and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/582799 indicate that this does not work on Fedora or Ubuntu, and presumably the same is true for Debian. To quote from the first linked article:
You have to:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/default_relatime
and then mount/remount with 'atime' and it should work.
