Formatting the Linux system partition of the Alibaba Cloud host and mounting the data disk-Linux Operation and Maintenance-php.cn

In addition to the free system disk in Alibaba Cloud, the second cloud disk purchased is not automatically mounted by default and needs to be manually configured and mounted.

Use [Management Terminal] or remote connection tool, enter the user name root and password to log in to the Linux system.

1. Run the fdisk -l command to view the data disk. Before partitioning and formatting the data disk, you cannot see the data disk using the "df -h" command. You can use the "fdisk -l" command to view it.

After executing the command, if /dev/vdb does not exist, it means there is no data disk. Confirm whether the data disk is mounted.

2. Execute the following commands in sequence to create a single-partition data disk:

(1) Run fdisk -u /dev/vdb: partition data disk.

(2) Enter p: Check the partition status of the data disk. In this example, the data disk has no partitions.

(3) Enter n: Create a new partition.

(4) Enter p: Select the partition type as the primary partition.

Description In this example, a single-partition data disk is created, so only the primary partition needs to be created. If you want to create more than four partitions, you should create at least one extended partition, i.e. select e (extended).

(5) Enter the partition number and press Enter. In this example, only one partition is created, enter 1.

(6) Enter the first available sector number: press Enter to adopt the default value of 2048.

(7) Enter the last sector number: This example only creates one partition, press Enter to adopt the default value.

(8) Enter p: View the planned partitioning of the data disk.

(9) Enter w: start partitioning and exit after partitioning.

3. Run the command fdisk -lu /dev/vdb to view the new partition.

If the following information appears, it means that the new partition /dev/vdb1 is created successfully.

[root@ecshost~ ]# fdisk -lu /dev/vdb

4. Run the command mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb1 to create a file system on the new partition.

In this example, create an ext4 file system. You can also choose to create other file systems according to your own needs. For example: if you need to share files between Linux, Windows and Mac systems, you can use mkfs.vfat to create a VFAT file system.

Note: The time required to create a file system depends on the size of the data disk.

5. (Recommended) Run the command cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak to back up the etc/fstab file.

6. Run the command echo /dev/vdb1 /data0 ext4 defaults 0 0 >> /etc/fstab to write new partition information to /etc/fstab.

Note: The Ubuntu 12.04 system does not support barriers. You need to run the command echo '/dev/vdb1 /data0 ext4 barrier=0 0 0' >> /etc/fstab.

If you want to mount the data disk to a folder separately, for example, to store web pages alone, replace /data0 in the command with the required mount point path.

7. Run the command cat /etc/fstab to view the new partition information in /etc/fstab.

8. Run the command mount /dev/vdb1 /data0 to mount the file system.

9. Run the command df -h to check the current disk space and usage.

The information about the new file system appears, indicating that the mounting is successful.
