To add an additional disk/volume on your OVH public cloud, you need to follow some steps.
First, identify your new disk :
fdisk -l
You can have different output depending of your system (sd{x}
, vd{x}
).
Then create a new partition :
# parted /dev/{{disk}}
mktable gpt
mkpart primary ext4 512 100%
quit
Format it :
mkfs -t ext4 -L rootfs /dev/{{disk}}1
Mount :
mount /dev/{{disk}}1 /mnt
Let’s make it peristent, we need UUID. To get block ID.
# blkid
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="rootfs" UUID="6b75bbb4-b311-4b9d-a8fd-6e6ff23c401f" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="primary"
PARTUUID="e20dc227-9d10-41c4-a714-2fb53d190c11"
/dev/sda1: UUID="9abb590f-8a5e-496f-ad2a-2c877415bdc5" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="71036eb1-01"
Add it on /etc/fstab
file with mount information.
# vim /etc/fstab
[...]
UUID=6b75bbb4-b311-4b9d-a8fd-6e6ff23c401f /mnt ext4 errors=remount-ro,discard 0 1
Confirm good configuration with one reboot.
