Ah, perhaps I've answered my own question. Having created the larger volume, I simply started a cluster with that volume attached. <br><br>It looks like it already sees the larger volume without my having to re-write the partition table, or do something like grow_volume. is this correct?<br>
<br>I ran fdisk -l :<br><br><br>[root@domU-12-31-39-0C-DC-22 home]# fdisk -l<br><br>...<br><br>Disk /dev/sdz: 536.8 GB, 536870912000 bytes<br>255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 65270 cylinders<br>Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes<br>
<br> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System<br>/dev/sdz1 1 2610 20964824+ 83 Linux<br>....<br><br>Does this completely confirm that the larger 500 GB volume is completely "seen"? (And if so, does this mean that nothing like resize2fs or xfs_growfs is necessary?)<br>
<br>Thanks -- and again, sorry for the ignorant / OT questions<br><br>Dan<span style="width: 639.6px;" class="content"><span class="block" style="margin-left: 0px ! important;"><code class="plain"></code></span></span><br>

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:<br><br> <a href="http://www.capsunlock.net/2009/06/enlarge-amazon-ebs-volume.html" target="_blank">http://www.capsunlock.net/2009/06/enlarge-amazon-ebs-volume.html</a><br>
<br>for ext3 filesystems.<br><br>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. <br><br>[root@domU-12-31-39-0C-DC-22 /]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdi /home<br>
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdi,<br> missing codepage or other error<br> In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try<br> dmesg | tail or so<br><br><br>Similary, I can't mount it as xfs either. Knowing that nfs is somehow involved here, I tried:<br>
<br>[root@domU-12-31-39-0C-DC-22 /]# mount -t nfs /dev/sdi /home<br>mount: directory to mount not in host:dir format<br><br>I'm not at all familiar with the details of how nfs works ... So --, what is the correct procedure for me to follow?<br>
<br>Thanks!<br><font color="#888888">Dan<br>
