Create EBS Volume On AWS

Volumes - Create Volume,
pick size
attach Volume to instance
Device: not mount point
go into terminal
become root (sudo -i)
format new volume
ls /dev/  this allows you to check the name of mount point of the new drive
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/xvdg or whatever the mount point is
cd into dir where you want to create a mount point for the new volume 
Example cd /var/www/website
Make new dir ( mkdir storage)
Edit the /etc/fstab file to load the new volume whenever the instance is restart
add this to the fstab file
/dev/xvdg (dev mount point) tab2x then /var/www/website/storage tab2x ext4 tab2x defaults tab2x 0 0 thats 2 zeros with a space in between
Save the file
df -h wil show the mount points. the one we added to the fstab will not show yet
mount -a will mount the new mount point from the fstab file
