Mounting a ESB volume on a Amazon EC2 Server instance

Via the console create a volume not from a snapshot - (this won't have a filesystem)

Adding volumes to your AMI instances :

Connect the volume to the specific AMI that is running via the console

Then login via SSH into the and create a file system on the newly created volume and then make it available to the AMI.

sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdh

Then add this to the /etc/fstab

/dev/sdh        /volume_shared  ext3    noatime 0 0

mkdir /volume_shared
mount /volume_shared

Check the mount :

df -h

(you should now see a new /volume_shared file system mounted on the EBS volume)
