Resize2fs command not found

command-not-foundresize2fs

I want to resize EC2 EBS root volume, I tried to install e2fsprogs but it's still "not found".
I'm using debian 8.

How do I install this application?

As mentioned in the comments, resize2fs may be located in sbin (that was also the case in my EC2 instance). You can either change your PATH, or cd /sbin then resize2fs. You can then resize your EC2 EBS root volume with resize2fs.

Resize2fs – Can’t Resize Partition

If you only changed the partition size, you're not ready to resize the logical volume yet. Once the partition is the new size, you need to do a pvresize on the PV so the volume group sees the new space. After that you can use lvextend to expand the logical volume into the volume group's new space. You can pass -r to the lvextend command so that it automatically kicks off the resize2fs for you.

Personally, I would have just made a new partition and used vgextend on it since I've had mixed results with pvresize.

Shell – Execute a file if a command is not found

The easiest (but generally contraindicated) method is to simply append ./ to your PATH environment variable at the end of your shell startup script, like so (bash/sh variants):

export PATH=$PATH:./

This will result in the shell attempting all the usual directories first before looking in the local directory for the command.

Note: Use at your own risk and absolutely don't do this as root.
