Migrating
Your Data to a Larger Volume
- Open the Amazon EC2 console.
- Ensure that the instance's Shutdown Behavior value is set to Stop and not Terminate. If it is already set to Stop, go on to step 3.
- In the navigation pane, click Instances, right-click on the instance to check, select Instance Settings, and then select Change Shutdown Behavior.
- If the Shutdown behavior is set to Terminate, select Stop from the list and click Apply.
If the Shutdown
behavior is set to Stop, click Cancel.
- Stop the instance. For more information about how to stop an instance, see Stopping and Starting Your Instances.
- Create a snapshot of the volume to expand.
- In the navigation pane, click Volumes, right-click on the volume to be expanded, and select Create Snapshot.
- Enter a Name and Description for the snapshot, and click Yes, Create.
- Create a new volume from the snapshot.
- In the navigation pane, click Snapshots.
- When the status of the snapshot that you just created is set to completed, select the snapshot and click Create Volume.
Note
It can
take several minutes for the snapshot to complete.
- In the Create Volume dialog box, select the desired volume type, enter the new size for the volume, set the Availability Zone to the same Availability Zone as the instance, and click Yes, Create.
- Detach the old volume.
instance information:device name
- Right-click the old volume and select Detach Volume.
- In the Detach Volume dialog box, click Yes, Detach. It may take several minutes for the volume to be detached.
- Attach the newly expanded volume
- In the navigation pane, click Volumes, select the new volume from the list of volumes, right-click the new volume, and select Attach Volume.
- Start typing the name or ID of the instance in the Instance field, select the instance, enter the same device name retrieved in Step 6.a, and click Yes, Attach.
- Restart the instance.
- In the navigation pane, click Instances, right-click the instance, select Instance State, and select Start.
- In the Start Instances dialog box, select Yes, Start. If the instance fails to start, and the volume being expanded is a root volume, verify that you attached the expanded volume using the same device name as the original volume (root volumes must be attached as /dev/sda1).
Important
Only
EC2-VPC instances with Elastic IP addresses retain their public IP address when
they are stopped. If your instance is running in EC2-Classic, the EIP address
is disassociated when the instance is stopped, and you must re-associate the
EIP after restarting the instance. For more information, see Elastic IP
Addresses (EIP). If your instance is not using an EIP, then you need
to retrieve your new public DNS name for your instance from the Instances page
of the Amazon EC2 console to connect to it.
After the instance has started, you
can check the file system size to see if your instance recognizes the larger
volume space. On Linux, use the df -h command to check the file system
size.
[ec2-user
~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1 7.9G 943M
6.9G 12% /
tmpfs 1.9G 0
1.9G 0% /dev/shm
If the size does not reflect your
newly-expanded volume, you must extend the file system your device so that your
instance can use the new space. For more information, see Extending a
Linux File System.
Extending
a Linux File System
In Linux, you use a file
system-specific command to resize the file system to the larger size of the new
volume. This command works even if the volume you wish to extend is the root
volume. For ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems, this command is resize2fs. For XFS
file systems, this command is xfs_growfs. For other file systems, refer
to the specific documentation for those file systems for instructions on
extending them.
If you are unsure of which file
system you are using, you can use the file -s command to list the file
system data for a device. The following example shows a Linux ext4
file system and an SGI XFS file system.
[ec2-user
~]$ sudo file
-s /dev/xvd*
/dev/xvda1:
Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data ...
/dev/xvdf: SGI XFS filesystem data ...
Note
If the volume you are extending has
been partitioned, you need to increase the size of the partition before you can
resize the file system. For more information, see Expanding a Linux
Partition.
- Use the lsblk command to list the block devices attached to your instance. The example below shows three volumes: /dev/xvda, /dev/xvdb, and /dev/xvdf.
·
[ec2-user ~]$ lsblk
·
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
·
xvda 202:0
0 30G 0 disk
·
└─xvda1 202:1 0

·
xvdb 202:16
0 30G 0 disk /mnt
·
xvdf 202:80
0 35G 0 disk
└─xvdf1
202:81 0 8G 0
part
The root
volume, /dev/xvda1, is a partition on /dev/xvda. Notice
that they are both 30 GiB in size. In this case, the partition occupies all of
the room on the device, so it does not need resizing.
The volume
/dev/xvdb is not partitioned at all, so it does not need resizing.
However, /dev/xvdf1 is an 8 GiB partition on a 35 GiB device and there are no
other partitions on the volume. In this case, the partition must be resized in
order to use the remaining space on the volume. For more information, see Expanding a Linux
Partition. After you resize the partition, you can follow the next
procedure to extend the file system to occupy all of the space on the
partition.
- Log in to your Linux instance using an SSH client. For more information about connecting to a Linux instance, see Connecting to Your Linux Instance Using SSH.
- Use the df -h command to report the existing file system disk space usage. In this example, the /dev/xvda1 device has already been expanded to 70 GiB, but the ext4 file system only sees the original 8 GiB size, and the /dev/xvdf device has been expanded to 100 GiB, but the XFS file system only sees the original 1 GiB size.

- Use the file system-specific command to resize the file system to the new size of the volume. For a Linux ext2, ext3, or ext4 file system, use the following command, substituting the device name that you want to extend.
8. [ec2-user
~]$ sudo
resize2fs /dev/xvda1

12.Performing
an on-line resize of /dev/xvda1 to 18350080 (4k) blocks.
The
filesystem on /dev/xvda1 is now 18350080 blocks long.
For an XFS
file system, use the following command, substituting the mount point of the
file system (XFS file systems must be mounted to resize them).
[ec2-user
~]$ sudo
xfs_growfs -d /mnt

Note
If you
receive an xfsctl
failed: Cannot allocate memory error,
you may need to update the Linux kernel on your instance. For more information,
refer to your specific operating system documentation.
- Use the df -h command to report the existing file system disk space usage, which should now show the full 70 GiB on the ext4 file system and 100 GiB on the XFS file system.
14.# df -h
15.Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

100G 1% /mnt
Deleting
the Old Volume
After the new volume has been
attached and extended in the instance, you can delete the old volume if it is
no longer needed.
- In the Amazon EC2 console, click Volumes in the navigation pane.
- Right-click the old volume and select Delete Volume.
- In the Delete Volume dialog box, click Yes, Delete.
