Hello all,

We have configured RAID 0 setup, with 8 EBS volumes of size 700G. We
combined those volumes under a single mount point for the data
directory. Archives are configured to be stored on different EC2
instances.Currently disk utilisation of data directory crossed 90%. We
need to increase the disk with less downtime.

Can anyone please share with me the steps to increase the disk size in
EC2 instances with minimal downtime.
