How can I extend my disk size in Amazon? #
Assuming your EC2 instance with BurmillaOS with more disk space than what’s being read, run the following command to extend the disk size. This allows BurmillaOS to see the disk size.
$ docker run --privileged --rm --it debian:jessie resize2fs /dev/xvda1
xvda1 should be the right disk for your own setup. In the future, we will be trying to create a system service that would automatically do this on boot in AWS.
Why the name BurmillaOS? #
The “Rancher” in BurmillaOS’s predecessor RancherOS came from the Pets vs Cattle analogy. While RancherOS was founded on the “cattle” approach, actually, servers often enough end up being pets. Thus, the name Burmilla, a breed of pet cats, was chosen.
