    Hi all, we have setup a liquid files instance in AWS using the AMI. We have a separate root volume and encrypted data volume. If we want to increase the root volume is it a simple process of adding disk in the AWS EC2 Volume console and then expanding this in Linux on the root volume or is it more complicated?

    Hi,

    If the root volume has the default ext4 partition and is non encrypted then at first you can easily modify the volume and expand it in AWS EC2 to a new size you need. The reboot the server. During boot the new space will be recognized and the partition will be resized automatically.
