Hi Fred, That would depend on what the underlying device is using. Do you know if you are using LVM or not? Type `lvdisplay` at the console to display any logical volumes. If you are using LVM, you should see one named something like 'VolGroup00_lv-root' If this is the case, something like this should help, but I have listed out the steps below for the TL;DR version: https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/ExpandLV *pvcreate /dev/xvdb* (xvdb is the Xen version, you may see sdb or some other combination.) *vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/xvdb* (Where VolGroup00 is the Volume Group you found before) *lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/VolGroup00/lv-root* (Or where ever the LVM device is created. lvdisplay will show you this.) Then simply: *resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/lv-root* to expand the filesystem on the new block device. Hope that helps.
