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