Answer 1

Please try to use commands to resolve your issue:

root@****:~# lsblk

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda 202:0 0 150G 0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1 0 8G 0 part /

root@****:~# df -h

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1      7.8G  4.5G  2.9G  61% /
tmpfs            32G     0   32G   0% /dev/shm

Looking at above thing it seems that EBS is having 150 GB but the root partition is only 8 GB.

So to resize EBS Root Volume

root@****:~# sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1

To install "growpart" use

root@****:~# sudo yum install -y cloud-init dracut-modules-growroot

And restart the engine.

You can try this, it worked for me:

sudo apt-get autoclean
