The following commands are rquiered to expoand a partition and resize the file system of an EBS volume. Those steps work in EBS volumes including root volumes and can be done while they are attached to a running instance (zero downtime)

Check the size of the partition

df -H

Check partition table

lsblk

Expand partition

Skip this step if the disk has no partitions (e.g. /dev/xvdf)

sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1

Check partition table after expansion

lsblk

Resize filesystem

Use xfs_growfs for XFS partitions (common in RHEL)

sudo resize2fs /dev/xvda1

Check the size of the partition after resizing

df -H

If the disk has no partitions the growpart command is not necessary. See rancher/rancher#10203
