# 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`
|
||
|
