00:00:06,705 --> 00:00:08,733
- Alright so now let's run through a demo

2
00:00:08,733 --> 00:00:12,900
of mounting an EBS volume to
an existing Linux EC2 instance.

3
00:00:14,641 --> 00:00:17,255
From the Amazon web services console,

4
00:00:17,255 --> 00:00:19,338
I'm gonna go back to EC2.

5
00:00:20,792 --> 00:00:23,611
I'm gonna go to my volumes.

6
00:00:23,611 --> 00:00:26,151
This is where we're gonna
choose this particular volume.

7
00:00:26,151 --> 00:00:27,821
It doesn't really matter which one.

8
00:00:27,821 --> 00:00:29,381
For the sake of this demo, we're gonna

9
00:00:29,381 --> 00:00:31,802
choose the provisioned iops volume.

10
00:00:31,802 --> 00:00:34,723
I'm going to click attach volume.

11
00:00:34,723 --> 00:00:38,151
I'm going to choose the Linux server.

12
00:00:38,151 --> 00:00:40,818
I'm going to mount it at devsdf.

13
00:00:43,041 --> 00:00:47,362
Of course we could go
from sdf through devsdp.

14
00:00:47,362 --> 00:00:50,851
I'm gonna go ahead and hit attach.

15
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:55,781
We'll see that now the
volume is labeled as in use.

16
00:00:55,781 --> 00:00:58,232
But down here the attachment says

17
00:00:58,232 --> 00:01:00,121
that it's currently attaching.

18
00:01:00,121 --> 00:01:02,851
So we're waiting for it
to become fully attached.

19
00:01:02,851 --> 00:01:04,548
We can hit the refresh button.

20
00:01:04,548 --> 00:01:08,296
Now we see that the volume is attached.

21
00:01:08,296 --> 00:01:12,463
I'm going to open an SSH
shell into that instance.

22
00:01:15,356 --> 00:01:19,770
From here I'm going to list
the block devices that I have.

23
00:01:19,770 --> 00:01:23,626
You can see here that
here is our root volume

24
00:01:23,626 --> 00:01:26,326
with our partition on slash.

25
00:01:26,326 --> 00:01:29,347
Then xvdf is how it got renamed.

26
00:01:29,347 --> 00:01:32,736
We actually mounted it, or
attached it, within the console

27
00:01:32,736 --> 00:01:35,136
as sdf but the operating system

28
00:01:35,136 --> 00:01:38,146
renamed it to xvdf and that's okay.

29
00:01:38,146 --> 00:01:40,346
So you can see we have the 100 gig volume

30
00:01:40,346 --> 00:01:41,777
and it just a disk.

31
00:01:41,777 --> 00:01:45,246
We don't have a partition on that yet.

32
00:01:45,246 --> 00:01:48,329
From here I'm going to format this...

33
00:01:52,036 --> 00:01:56,203
As ext4 and I'm going to use /dev/xvdf,

34
00:02:01,596 --> 00:02:03,307
and there we go.

35
00:02:03,307 --> 00:02:05,106
Just like that, super easy.

36
00:02:05,106 --> 00:02:08,477
We were able to format that with ext4.

37
00:02:08,477 --> 00:02:11,166
Now I want to create a mount point.

38
00:02:11,166 --> 00:02:14,626
I'm going to create a folder called,

39
00:02:14,626 --> 00:02:18,793
let me make sure that
we have that /mnt/data.

40
00:02:22,836 --> 00:02:24,866
So that's gonna be our mount point.

41
00:02:24,866 --> 00:02:28,516
Now I want to mount the
volume to that mount point.

42
00:02:28,516 --> 00:02:32,683
So I'm gonna say sudo mount /dev/xvdf

43
00:02:38,016 --> 00:02:42,346
will be mounted to /mount/data.

44
00:02:42,346 --> 00:02:44,429
Now if I were to do a df,

45
00:02:45,386 --> 00:02:49,553
we can see now that /mount data is mounted

46
00:02:50,736 --> 00:02:52,569
to the devxvdf device.

47
00:02:53,947 --> 00:02:57,867
We have just about 100 gigs available.

48
00:02:57,867 --> 00:03:02,034
So that is mounting an EBS
volume to a Linux instance.
