Attaching Your Block Volume

Now that you've connected to your instance, we need to get your Block Volume attached via PowerShell, so we can actually access that additional disk space.

In the Termius window, type sudo -s and hit enter. This sets you as the root user. Every time you launch Termius, this should be the first command you run.

Back on your Oracle Instance, scroll down to the bottom, and select Attached Block Volumes.

Select ISCSI Commands and Information. A window will pop up, click on LInux. That should bring you to this page.

Under the Connect field, hit the copy button. Back in Termius, paste those 3 lines as one, using Ctrl+Shift+V and hit enter.

Next, enter sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb

Enter lsblk -f

sudo mkdir /mnt/minecraft

sudo blkid

You'll want to copy and paste the sdb UUID to a notepad, for later use.

sudo nano /etc/fstab

At the bottom of this document, you'll want to paste in your UUID, followed by this information, and shown here. UUID="UUID goes here" /mnt/minecraft ext4 defaults,noatime,_netdev 0 2

Ctrl+X, and then Y after this window pops up.

sudo mount -a

df -aTh This is checking to make sure the Block Volume is properly mounted. At the very bottom of the list, you should see /dev/sdb, with a size of ~143G. This will indicate that your block volume is correctly attached to your instance.
