(AWS) Adding a volume to an Ubuntu Server
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
On the server
- 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
