Good afternoon, I am new to EC2 and have been trying to mount an EBS volume on an EC2 instance. Following the instructions at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11535617/add-ebs-to-ubuntu-ec2-instance">this StackOverflow question</a> I did the following: <pre><code>1. Format file system /dev/xvdf (Ubuntu's internal name for this particular device number): sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdf 2. Mount file system (with update to /etc/fstab so it stays mounted on reboot): sudo mkdir -m 000 /vol echo "/dev/xvdf /vol auto noatime 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab sudo mount /vol </code></pre> There now appears to be a folder (or volume) at <code>/vol</code> but it has been (prepopulated?) with a folder entitled <code>lost+found</code>, and does not have the 15GB that I assigned to the EBS volume (it has something much smaller). Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks! UPDATE 1 After following the first suggestion (<code>sudo mount /dev/xvdf /vol</code>), here is the output of df: <pre><code>Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 8256952 791440 7046084 11% / udev 294216 8 294208 1% /dev tmpfs 120876 164 120712 1% /run none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock none 302188 0 302188 0% /run/shm /dev/xvdf 15481840 169456 14525952 2% /vol </code></pre> This might indicate that I do in fact have the 15GB on <code>/vol</code> . However I still do have that strange <code>lost+found</code> folder in there. Anything I should be worried about?
