Hi Dag, Thanks for your prompt reply. During the creation of new instance I set the size of root disk to 300G. Once the instance was created , the device /dev/vda was created with 300G size. However the LVM partition still shows 5G size. (same is shown under in df -h)

Did you resize this, or did you add a disk? If you resized it then all you need to do is use your LVM and filesystem tools to expand your partition.

The issue is that the root LVM partition inside the new VM instance still shows 5GB . The device size (/dev/vda) however shows 300GB. The question is what is the best strategy to resize the root LVM partition so that I could use all 300G.
