Login to your ec2 instance and list the available disks using the following command

2. Check if the volume has any data using the following command

sudo file -s /dev/xvdf

3. If the above command output shows “/dev/xvdf: data”, it means your volume is empty

4. Format the volume to ext4 filesystem using the following command

sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/xvdf

5. Create a directory of your choice to mount our new ext4 volume. For Example the name used is “newvolume”

sudo mkdir /newvolume

6. Mount the volume to “newvolume” directory using the following command

sudo mount /dev/xvdf /newvolume/

7. cd into newvolume directory and check the disk space for confirming the volume mount

cd /newvolume

df -h
