1- expand the volume from amazon ec2 Volumes dashboard
2- Expand the modified partition using growpart
sudo growpart /dev/xvdf 1
A look at the lsblk output confirms that the partition /dev/xvdf1 now fills the available space on the volume /dev/xvdf
3- sudo resize2fs /dev/xvdf1
sudo -s
vi /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
delete the lines at the begining of the file that say “COMMAND….” until you get to the words ssh-rsa
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
set the variable “PermitRootLogin” to “PermitRootLogin without-password” (without quotes)
now restart ssh service
service sshd restart
