EBS Add Partition
1. Add an 8G EBS store
Elastic Block Store > Volumes > Create volume
Name the volume by adding a tag called "Name"
Right click the named volume and attach it to the instance (e.g., as /dev/sdf1)
It is important to use /dev/sdf1 and not /dev/sdf. Using only /dev/sdf will limit you to being able to only use /dev/sdf, while /dev/sdf1 will allow you to use sdf1 through sdf15 (or 16?)
Log in to the machine and find the new device
2. Connect to this store from within the instance
sudo su - mount_point="/mnt/point" cat /proc/partitions # Compare with df -h [ec2-user@ip-10-0-1-101 ~]$ cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 202 1 8388608 xvda1 202 80 10485760 xvdf device="/dev/xvdf1" mkfs.ext4 "${device}" mkdir -p "${mount_point}" && mount "${device}" "${mount_point}" df -h # Check that it mounted
