Before doing anything, to make your life easier, do a blkid on the server and copy/paste the drives already mounted. This will make finding out the new drive that much easier.

• Login to AWS and drill down to your server
• Create a GPS volume (ie. gps3)
• Attach the volume,
  • I chose the name: /dev/sdg

• make the mount point: mkdir /data_dump
• run blkid and compare the drive list. You should see a new drive mounted (in this case nvme2n1)
• mkfs -t ext4 /dev/nvme2n1 (you can format to whatever file system is your preference. I like ext3 or 4)
• Make persistent:
  • get the UUID: lsblk -o NAME,UUID,MOUNTPOINT
  • vi /etc/fstab and add the line

  • UUID=2d49188e-906f-4820-b843-144973a7f254 /data_dump ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2

• Test fstab:

   mount /data_dump
