When trying to mount can XFS filestsen on an AWS instance, I got the error “mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdh” Examine the volume’s UUID with the xfs_db command: shell> sudo xfs_db -c uuid /dev/nvme2n1 To fix the problem, you have two options… Temporary Solution Add nouuid mount option to temporarily […]

First, use the AWS Console to modify the volume to the desired size, in our example we want to go from 10GB to 25GB for the root filesystem For a Xen ext4 root volume

Note how the partition at 259:1 is only 20GB, while the entire disk at 259:0 is 40GB. A partition resize is required in this case.

If the XFS tools are not already installed , you can install them as follows :
sudo yum install xfsprogs
For an EXT4 filesystem, use the resize2fs command instead:
sudo resize2fs / dev / nvme0n1p1

First, use the AWS management console to create and attach a new volume. Note the device name, in our example /dev/sdf.
# yum install xfsprogs-devel
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdf
# echo "/dev/sdf /data xfs noatime 0 0" | tee -a /etc/fstab
# mkdir -m 000 /data
# mount /data
# df -h
# mount
You now have a 10 GB (or whatever size you specified) EBS volume mounted under /data with an XFS file system, and it will be automatically mounted if the instance reboots.
