Hello,

I just fired up an ubuntu 11.04 cluster compute instance ( ebs-hvm-cluster, ami-1cad5275 )

It looks great, fires up fine, but the root partition is only 10gb. Here is what df -h returns

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             7.9G  2.5G  5.1G  33% /
none                   12G  140K   12G   1% /dev
none                   12G   88K   12G   1% /dev/shm
none                   12G   96K   12G   1% /var/run
none                   12G     0   12G   0% /var/lock

The cc1.4xlarge is supposed to have 1690gb of space available to it which I would like to make available. T

I had read these two very useful blog posts by Eric Hammond but wasn't able to get it to work. The resize2fs command returns the following: "The filesystem is already 2094474 blocks long.  Nothing to do!"

Any advice on how I can make the full storage space available?
