Mounting an attached ebs volume in EC2
- by David
I've created an EC2 instance, created an EBS volume, attached it to the running instance, and successfully ssh'ed into my instance.
The drive is attached as /dev/sdf
Next, I tried mounting the drive by running:
mkdir /testName
mount -t ext3 /dev/sdf /testName
But then I get the error message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
