[StarCluster] Increasing size of root volume

[Blanchette, Marco]

Tanks a lot Titus,

In fact, I got it to work yesterday afternoon following the excellent and detail steps of Eric Hammond:
http://alestic.com/2010/02/ec2-resize-running-ebs-root (one needs to have the EC2 CLI tools installed and configured on local computer thought)

I was then able to use the newly created AMI as my default in the StarCluster config.

Should keep this handy in STAR cluster FAQ/Mailing list

Cheers,

This must be a very basic question but is there a way do define the size of the root volume? The current size is set to 8GB and I am 100% full
Sorry if this has been asked before or if it's obvious, but I search the documentation and the mailing list could not find an answer...

Hi Marco,

This might be of interest --

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/RootDeviceStorage.html

specifically,

"Launching an Amazon EBS-backed instance with increased root device storage disk size"

Let me know how it goes!

cheers,
