RHEL HVM AMIs don't resize the root partition by default.

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • AWS Amazon Machine Images provides by Red Hat do not resize root volume during build process. When provisioning a new EC2 instance, normal procedure is specify how large to create the root volume. The volume is then automatically resized during the provision. But that does not happen with all of the Red Hat HMI category AMIs.

  • When creating an instance in Amazon Web Services from an AMI, the user has the ability to select a volume size for the root device. The expected behavior is that the root filesystem of the instance will match the size of the EBS volume created on launch. Instances created using HVM AMIs for RHEL from Cloud Access do not resize the filesystem to match the device.

Environment

  • RHEL 6.5 HVM AMIs
