Servers based on Linux are gaining popularity in the information technology world, but some simple tasks do have a learning curve attached to it. Adding a drive to your existing server, regardless of whether it is virtual or physical, is not a plug and play thing. The drive needs to be initialized and then configured to mount automatically during boot up process. Installation onto a cloud based server is somewhat more complex than installation on physically present server.
Key Takeaways:

- You need to create a filesystem and may want to partition your drive first.
