| This is a resize of the actual EBS volume as opposed to adding additional disks using LVM | |
| 1. Follow the steps here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/storage_expand_partition.html | |
| 2. Use the instructions for gdisk further down the page to set the new partition table, not gparted or fdisk. | |
| 3. Reboot the instance once the partition table is written. | |
| 4. On the instance, execute: | |
| sudo pvresize /dev/xvda2 (or whatever the device name is) | |
| sudo pvdisplay | |
