I have two volumes of amazon EC2 where by default 1 GiB volume using which has fulled. Now I want to use my second volume which is 9 Gim. I used command cat /proc/partitions I got major minor #blocks name

202 1 1048576 xvda1

202 80 9437184 xvdf
Then I hit mkfs.ext3 -F /dev/sdf its showing

mkfs.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to determine filesystem size

then I hit command df and I got

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/xvda1 1032088 1031280 0 100% /

tmpfs 313160 8 313152 1% /lib/init/rw

udev 297800 24 297776 1% /dev

tmpfs 313160 4 313156 1% /dev/shm

overflow 1024 32 992 4% /tmp

means still I am unable to use my 9 GiB space Volume.


I am conform I have two volume where attachment information is i-7e4fb41c:/dev/sda1 (attached) and i-7e4fb41c:/dev/sdf (attached)

where only sda1 is using.
Any one know how may I use my second volume(sdf). Thx

Try using /dev/xvdf . But if I were you I would make partitions on it before making filesystem.

  • its working but I think still I am unable to use secondary volume. Jan 4, 2012 at 13:42
  • I am getting "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." for every command. like "apt-get install devscripts", "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade" Jan 4, 2012 at 13:44
  • I think still I am unable to use my secondary volume because I am getting - "dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: unable to flush /var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i after padding: No space left on device" when I am using command "dpkg --configure -a" Jan 4, 2012 at 13:55
  • The second volume's space don't adds to the first. It's a separate disk. You have to mount it somewhere and migrate your data to it.

you should mount dev/xvdf instead of dev/sdf (because new AMI have upgrade your EBS name to xvdf), then you can handle it.
