Hi,

because there is no comment function here an update for

> **[Autoresize EBS root volume for AWS AMIs](https://www.elastic.co/blog/autoresize-ebs-root-volume-on-aws-amis)**
>
> Why launching certain AWS Linux AMIs results in a root filesystem not matching the root EBS volume size? Keep reading to find workarounds and more details.

=\> the new Debian image 8.3 created on 17th February has now the ability to resize root folder 😉

```
admin@ip-172-31-7-159:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda 202:0 0 16G 0 disk
├─xvda1 202:1 0 1007.5K 0 part
└─xvda2 202:2 0 16G 0 part /

```

Btw. it has also fixed the "nobootwait" bug where the mount parameter was taken over from Ubuntu cloud package instead using "nofail":

```
admin@ip-172-31-7-159:~$ cat /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/00_debian.cfg
syslog_fix_perms: root:adm
mount_default_fields: [~, ~, 'auto', 'defaults,nofail', '0', '2']

```

Bests
