Live Resize EBS back LVM Volume.sh
# Check the usually suspects before you resize
df -h # Show file systems and their current space
lsblk # show block devices and file systems (do this again after resizing the EBS volume)
sudo pvscan # show physical drives
sudo lvscan # show logical volumes
# Now after you have resized the EBS volumes (you can do this in the console or CLI), the two magic commands:
sudo pvresize </dev/DEVICE> # Resize physical volume(s)
sudo lvextend -r -l +100%FREE <LogicalVolume[Path]>
# df -h # Check your work, pat yourself on back, stop Googling 100 step answers to do this!
