How to increase disk space of an instance without using EBS ? Root file system size is only showing 10 GB. Is there a way to create a bigger file system without EBS ?
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 9.9G 3.3G 6.1G 35% /
tmpfs 874M 0 874M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 874M 84K 874M 1% /dev
tmpfs 874M 0 874M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb 335G 12G 307G 4% /mnt
As you can see in the output, a much bigger partition is mounted at
/mnt. You can move some of the things on the root filesystem there by either remounting it at the appropriate location or add symlinks. There is no other way to add more diskspace if you don’t want to resort to EBS or a network filesystem.
