# Mounting an attached drive
Assumptions:
* New drive is attached(in AWS) and detected in software
Ideally attachment is made through terraform
## Mounting Instructions (Step-by-Step)
1. Verify data does not have data: `sudo file -s /dev/xvdf`
Should return `data` if its ok. Other wise we're probably looking at the wrong
drive.
2. Create the filesystem on the new empty drive: `sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/xvdf`
3. Create mountpoint other wares to actaully use the drive
`sudo mkdir /mnt/example`.
Change _example_ to something that actually makes sense.
4. Add a new entry to /etc/fstab for automounting
`/dev/xvdf /newvolume ext4 defaults,nofail 0 0`
Tab delimited btw.
5. Mount all drives listed in `/etc/fstab` from before. `sudo mount -a`
