[Starcluster] enlarge volume

[Dan Yamins]

I've got a 20GB volume that I created using startcluster createvolume that I
want to enlarge to 1 TB.   I've tried to follow these instructions:

  http://www.capsunlock.net/2009/06/enlarge-amazon-ebs-volume.html

for ext3 filesystems.

However, I think I'm using the wrong fs type, since -- even before trying to
re-write the partition table -- I can't mount the drive as ext3, e.g.

[root at domU-12-31-39-0C-DC-22 /]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdi /home
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdi,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so


Similary, I can't mount it as xfs either.   Knowing that nfs is somehow
involved here, I tried:

[root at domU-12-31-39-0C-DC-22 /]# mount -t nfs /dev/sdi /home
mount: directory to mount not in host:dir format

I'm not at all familiar with the details of how nfs works ...  So --, what
is the correct procedure for me to follow?

Thanks!
Dan
