- Create EBS volume in the EC2 section of the AWS console.
- Attach EBS volume to `/dev/sdf` (EC2's external name for this particular device number).
Format file system `/dev/xvdf` (Ubuntu's internal name for this particular device number):
Code Block sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdf
Mount file system (with update to /etc/fstab so it stays mounted on reboot):
Code Block sudo mkdir -m 777 /vol echo "/dev/xvdf /vol auto noatime 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab sudo mount /vol
To mount an existing EBS volume, attach the volume to your instance in the AWS Console, then mount it:
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo mkdir -m 777 /vol
sudo mount /dev/xvdf /vol |
Like a real hard-drive, EBS volumes can only be attached to a single instance. But, they can be shared by NFS. <<How to do this?>>
