I was trying to add more volume to my device
df -h
I get:
[root#ip-172-x-x-x ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 3.8G 44K 3.8G 1% /dev
tmpfs 3.8G 0 3.8G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/nvme0n1p1 7.8G 3.6G 4.2G 46% /
I wanna add all existing storage to /dev/nvme0n1p1
lsblk
I get
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
nvme0n1 259:0 0 300G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 8G 0 part /
└─nvme0n1p128 259:2 0 1M 0 part
I was trying to google around on aws instructions, still quite confuse. since most of the instruction is setting up brand new instance. While for my use case i cannot stop the instance.
i cannot do
mkfs
Also seems like the disk is already mount?? I guess i may misunderstand the meaning of mount...
since the filesystem is already there.
just wanna use all existing space.
Thanks for help in advance!!
your lsblk output shows that you have a 300G disk but your nvme0n1p1 is only 8G. You need to first grow your partition to fill the disk and then expand your filesystem to fill your partition:
Snapshot all ebs volumes you care about before doing any resize operations on them.
Install growpart
sudo yum install cloud-utils-growpart
Resize partiongrowpart /dev/nvme0n1 1
Reboot reboot now
Run lsblk and verify that the partition is now the full disk size
You may still have to run sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1 to expand the filesystem

From the output you posted, I don't see any indication that the system is using LVM, rather the filesystem is directly on /dev/sdb1. So simply try umount /store followed by resize2fs /dev/sdb1.
I have started my container using the --privileged flag, so as far as I know, all disks should be available from inside the container - and that is partly true, but I somehow can't read the size of them.

Both outputs are stripped from loop devices, but as you can see, there are 2 drives recognized in both.
Now, if I run the df command on the host:

Somehow, it does not show the correct drives in the second df output. Is there any way to make df show the correct output, even inside the container?
Or is there another way to get the correct disk sizes and usages from the host?
There is no "decent" solution that can accomplish what you want, but let me explain why.
You talk about "disk usage", but in reality there is no such thing as disk usage. As far as the disk (i.e. the device itself) is concerned, there is no concept of "usage". What you are looking for is rather filesystem disk usage, which is fundamentally different.
In order to know the "used" and "available" space of a filesystem, you will have to mount it. This allows the kernel to process filesystem metadata that can then be used to determine free and used filesystem blocks. Without mounting the filesystem this information is simply not available to the kernel (and therefore not available to df, for example).
In order for Docker to work, containers run with a different mount namsepace than the host. The core reason for this is that containers cannot in general safely share mount points with the host. Think for example what would happen if / in the host and / in the container referred to the same mount point: as soon as the container starts, it would likely break your system by touching sensitive files that it is not supposed to. So by default, Docker will "isolate" containers in their own mount namespace, so that they will only see the mount points they need, and there is no option to avoid this because of the above.
You could be able to get this information by reading raw data from the available block devices (without mounting them) and parsing the filesystem metadata (if any) from userspace within the container using some specialized tool, but this is a finicky solution as it would basically require one tool per possible filesystem type. See also Free space in unmounted partition at Unix & Linux SE.
You could also use bind mounts allowing the host and the container to share mount points, but this would have to be done on a per-mount basis, for example:
docker run --mount readonly,type=bind,source=/media/mauz/ESD-ISO,target=/container/path ...
$ df
...
/dev/sda1 62519040 23118848 39400192 37% /container/path
...
You say that for now you are "passing all mounted volumes manually", so I assume this is not different than whatever you are currently doing. On top of being pretty ugly, this solution would also have the limit of not being able to handle changes in devices or mount points on the host (e.g. if a new device is added and mounted).
The only "real" solution I can see here would be to run some application on the host, which periodically extracts the needed information and communicates it to the application running inside the container.
Using nsenter, this command should achieve what you wanted :
docker run -it --rm --privileged --pid host ubuntu nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -i bash
# --privileged : run privileged
# --pid host : shares host's process id namespace
# nsenter - run program with namespaces of other processes
# -t 1 : Specify process 1 to get contexts from
# -m -u -n -i : Share mount, UTS, network, IPC namespace.
I created an AWS EC2 Linux instance with 8GB root volume. Then I increased the EBS volume to 9GB and it went to the completed state. It's a small volume, so the resize took a couple of minutes to complete.
Now I try to extend extend the linux file system after resizing the volume using the instructions mentioned here. But, I get the below error message. I tried two times, the entire process. But it's all the same.
The filesystem is already 2096635 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!
Here is the screen shot of the image.
Can someone help me?
Just reboot the instance because it automatically resizes your root filesystem on boot.
I tried it myself. Here is the instance with an 8GB volume:
[ec2-user#ip-172-31-15-216 ~]$ lsblk

tmpfs 246M 0 246M 0% /dev/shm

After modifying the EBS Volume:
[ec2-user#ip-172-31-15-216 ~]$ lsblk

xvda 202:0 0 9G 0 disk

After the reboot:

xvda 202:0 0 9G 0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1 0 9G 0 part /

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 :)

Trying to mount a 384G volume from old instance to a newly configure instance (8G). Attached 384G volume shows up on lsblk but on df -h it doesn't come up at all. What am I doing wrong?

tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
Note: On EC2 instance dashboard it displays
Root device: /dev/sda1
Block devices: /dev/sda1 /dev/sdf
The df -k will only show mounted volumes.
You will need to mount your volume first, like this mount /dev/xvdf /mnt then you will be able to access it's content from /mnt and see it when typing df -k
For those landing here after not finding their xvdf devices on aws ec2 c5 or m5 instances, it's renamed to /dev/nvme... as per the docs
For C5 and M5 instances, EBS volumes are exposed as NVMe block
devices. The device names that you specify are renamed using NVMe
device names (/dev/nvme[0-26]n1). For more information, see Amazon EBS
and NVMe.
