Linux Skills

In the almost 40 years I've been doing this I've never had to mount a drive on a linux box...  When working with EC2 it's a life skill...

As sudo you can mount a volume with a command like this:

mkdir /mnt/vol
mount -t auto /dev/xvdj /mnt/vol

This attaches the drive device to the mount volume, where it can be browse as a folder.

umount /mnt/vol unmounts it
