EBS not showing correct disk size in amazon web service

I created a new xtra large EC2 machine with 300 GB EBS volume attached to the root

When the instance properties are viewed in the EC2 panel it shows Root Device: /dev/sda1 which is connected to an EBS ID correponding to an EBS volume with capacity 300GB

but df -h shows the size to be 50 GB

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              50G   18G   30G  38% /
none                  7.5G  3.6G  4.0G  48% /dev/shm

You need to resize the filesytem. Depending on what filesystem type you need to use a specific command. For example for ext2, ext3, ext4 you can use resizefs. You can find more information about it here:
