+# 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`
+
