EC2: mounting EBS in CentOS

I’m writing this more as a future reference for myself and anyone that starts searching for specific howto stuff for ec2. The setup process is pretty well documented elsewhere, so I’m going to start into the post setup setup.

Today’s episode: Mounting your EBS in Cent:

Create your EBS (elasticfox is great for this) and link it to your instance.

Next  run-> mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb (or whatever sd* you want to use, you have to use the one you set in elasticfox)

then -> echo “/dev/sdb /vol ext3 noatime 0 0″ >> /etc/fstab

then -> create the directory for vol  (mkdir /vol)

then -> mount vol (mount/vol)

Check to see that all has worked with df –si
