Exoscale - Extend disk space¶

Create block storage¶

• Login into Exoscale
• Got to Compute > Block Storage
• Create a new entry in the same zone as the server
• Add a label name with value $ALIAS.mint-system.com
• Attach it to the server
• Get disk path from /dev/disk/by-id/$DISK_ID
• Format the disk sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb

Mount block storage¶

• Create a mount point

Mount block storage with Ansible¶

• In Ansible create a fstab entry:

fstab_mounts:
  - path: /mnt/sdb
    src: /dev/disk/by-id/$DISK_ID
    opts: discard,nofail,defaults
    state: mounted
    fstype: ext4

• Mount the fstab:

task play -i inventories/mint_sytem plays/setup.yml -t fstab -l $ALIAS
