Plugin with name Standard_Stream not found

Question

If I try to start an SSM session from AWS CLI when the EC2 disk is full, I get this error:

```
Starting session with SessionId: foo@bar.com-sdfsfsdfsdfsdfsdf

SessionId: foo@bar.com-sdfsfsdfsdfsdfsdf : Plugin with name Standard_Stream not found. Step name: Standard_Stream
```
I read that this happens when disk is full and this was the true in my case. So I increased the root volume by 2GB, restarted the instance and tried again. But I keep getting the same error. How do I rectify this issue? (The instance has no key-pair attached since we strictly use SSM only)

If you resized the EBS volume, you may still need to resize the filesystem inside your instance to take advantage of the additional space. Bootstrap scripts often grow the filesystem to the volume size on first boot only - if you increase the volume size afterwards they won't do it. The exact steps for this will vary depending on the OS and disk format in use so you will need to check what filesystem and partitioning scheme (e.g. lvm, xfs, ext4, and so on) is in use on your instance, and check for suitable instructions.
