• Stop the instance.
• Create a snapshot of the root EBS volume.
• Create an ESB volume from that snapshot with the new desired size. (Please ensure it is in the same AZ as the instance)
• Detach the root EBS volume and attach the newly created EBS volume to /dev/sda1 on the instance.
• Start the instance and then login.
• Enter ‘df -h’ to see the current size of the root volume.
• Enter ‘sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1′ to get the rest of the expanded disk.
• Enter ‘df -h’ again to see the new size of the root volume.

Always looking to enhance our website… came across some new jQuery Plugins

Here’s some way to use dropbox Without Using Dropbox.

In my setup I used the following:

• cd /var/tmp
• mkdir clone_tmp
• git clone git@github.com:details_here_removed
• git checkout -b hotfix_branch_name  (create local branch and checkout to it)
• now I make my changes to files (and test)
• update my version file: git describe –tags –long > version.txt
• git commit -a
• git format-patch master –stdout > /tmp/hotfix_1

From here I can merge into my master branch:

• git checkout master
• git merge hotfix_branch_name master
• git push origin master
• (don’t forge to update your dev branches too!)

Now let’s apply the patch:

• cd /my/local/src/files
• First let’s check if things will work
  • git apply –stat /tmp/hotfix_1
  • git apply –check /tmp/hotfix_1
• Now let’s really apply the patch
• git apply /tmp/hotfix_1
