Instructions |
To get started with a new volume, you'll want to create a filesystem on it:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_test_volume
Once the volume has a filesystem, you can create a mountpoint for it:
mkdir /mnt/test_volume
Then you can mount the new volume:
mount /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_test_volume /mnt/test_volume
If you want the volume to automatically mount every time your Linode boots, you'll want to add a line like the following to your /etc/fstab file:
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_test_volume /mnt/test_volume ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2
