Unable to extend AWS volume on Centos
by donpro from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Z5BQ)
Hi,
I am following th Amazon documentation to increase a partion. I modified my volume by adding 35GB to it. Then I run "growpart" but it fails as seen below. I cannot find any resolution as all the Google results state that growpart should work. What step am I missing?
[root@aws ~]# lsblk
