Making an EBS Volume Available for Use
I need to do that to use the storage and not fill up the root partition.
Code to apply the procedure automatically is available in [em].

Even if the dedicated disk has 800GB, the default partitions are undersized. I need to understand this better, but this is what I did:
{{{
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda 202:0 0 800G 0 disk
├─xvda1 202:1 0 1M 0 part
├─xvda2 202:2 0 6G 0 part /
}}}
There's a lot of space (790+GB) that is not allocated to any partition.
{{{
gdisk /dev/xvda
p (print partions)
n (create new partion)
Partition Number: 3
First sector .. etc
}}}
Allocate all, then 'w' and then reboot - otherwise /dev/xvda3 won't be visible.
