How to Fix NOCHANGE: partition 1 could only be grown by -6190792671 [fudge=2048] issue in Linux.

As we know all cloud providers provide us functionality to increase disk space at any time. Yesterday there was a requirement from client. Where he wants to increase disk space. I have increased disk space from AWS side and I was able to see that disk space changes on server via cli command lsblk. As usual we have to extend a Linux file system after resizing a volume with below command

 sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1

But when I hit command there was output like below:

 NOCHANGE: partition 1 could only be grown by -6190792671 [fudge=2048]

And when I hit

resize2fs /dev/xvda1

The output was like

resize2fs 1.44.1 (24-Mar-2018)

The filesystem is already 7864059 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!

So after doing some google search I found that cloud-guest-utils package was missing from server.

So I just install package.

 apt install cloud-guest-utils

Then

 sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1

resize2fs /dev/xvda1

After that I was able to extend volume on server
