AWS attach additional disk

The AWS disk was used up very fast, added additional volumes,

The disk usage as below,

​​[root@ip-172-31-2-32 ec2-user]# df -l
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda2 10473452 8020612 2452840 77% /
devtmpfs 484472 0 484472 0% /dev
tmpfs 507736 20 507716 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 507736 57588 450148 12% /run
tmpfs 507736 0 507736 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 101548 0 101548 0% /run/user/1000​​ First you need to add the volumes, added two additional disk,

​​Block devices
/dev/sda1
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc​​ Then create ext4 file system on the volume,

​​sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb​​ Create the mount point:

​​mkdir /home/ec2-user/data
mkdir /home/rongrong/data​​ mount the device to the point created:

​​mount /dev/xvdb /home/ec2-user/data
mount /dev/xvdc /home/rongrong/data​​ update /etc/fstab to make it auto mount, added two lines,

​​/dev/xvdc /home/rongrong/data ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2
/dev/xvdb /home/ec2-user/data ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2​​ command mount -a

​​mount -a​​ check the disk usage again:

​​[root@ip-172-31-2-32 ec2-user]# df -l
