1. Create an EBS Volume and attach it to the EC2 instance in EC2 panel management (in the AWS portal). Note the EBS volume name (e.g.,
sdb
).
3. Confirm that the EBS volume is attached:
sudo fdisk -l
You should see two (or more) disks listed:
/dev/xvda1
and /dev/xvdb
. Note that the EBS volume name (sdb) is listed as xvdb because Ubuntu 12.04 differentiates between real and virtual drives.
4. The new disk isn't formatted. You format the disk with the following:
sudo mkfs -t /dev/xvdb
or sudo mke2ts -F -t ext4 /dev/xvdf5 mount this
mkdir /var/www/html
mount /dev/xvdb /var/www/html
6 df -h
