I have an AWS EC2 instance running on Ubuntu 16.04.
It has a 2TB ext4 partition which I am trying to resize to 6TB. I have updated the AWS volume to 6TB without difficulties.
On the instance I used resize2fs to resize the partition and it does not work (even after rebooting). Using lsblk I can correctly see the total disk space of 5.9T.
gab@someserver:~$ sudo df -h

The filesystem is already 536870655 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!

Does anyone have any experience with this issue?
