Mount an EBS volume
Once the EBS volume has been created and attached to the instance, ssh into the instance and list the available disks:
$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop0 7:0 0 86.9M 1 loop /snap/core/4917
loop1 7:1 0 12.6M 1 loop /snap/amazon-ssm-agent/295
loop2 7:2 0 91M 1 loop /snap/core/6350
loop3 7:3 0 18M 1 loop /snap/amazon-ssm-agent/930
nvme0n1 259:0 0 300G 0 disk
nvme1n1 259:1 0 8G 0 disk
└─nvme1n1p1 259:2 0 8G 0 part /
In the above case we want to attach nvme0n1 - a 300GB gp2 EBS volume. Check if the volume already has data in it (e.g. created from a snapshot or being attached to a new instance):
$ sudo file -s /dev/nvme0n1
/dev/nvme0n1: data
If the above command shows data
then the volume is empty. Format the file system as follows:
$ sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/nvme0n1
mke2fs 1.44.1 (24-Mar-2018)

Create a directory to mount the volume to:
$ sudo mkdir /data
$ sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu /data
Mount the directory to the volume:
$ sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1 /data/
The volume should now be available for access:
$ cd /data
$ df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1 295G 65M 280G 1% /data
To unmount the volume:
$ unmount /dev/nvme0n1
Automount#
To mount the EBS volume on reboot you need to make an fstab entry. First create a backup of the fstab configuration:
$ sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
Then add the entry to /etc/fstab
as follows:
# device_name mount_point file_system_type fs_mntops fs_freq fs_passno
/dev/nvme0n1 /data ext4 defaults,nofail
To check tha tthe fstab file has been created correctly run:
$ sudo mount -a
