Some notes on managing disks on the Greenhost/eclips.is VM servers.

New disk creation

Go to Cosmos, the eclips.is VM manager
Go to "Disk Images" in the selected VM/account
Create new disk of desired size (possibly use same location as VM)
Once created, go to manage and assign the new disk to the correct VM and give it a correct position (ie, not one being already used by another disk on this very VM), let's say it was /dev/xvdb1
log into the VM, if needed install the necessary tool to handle XFS filesystems.

apt install xfsprogs

format the new disk as XFS

mkfs.xfs /dev/xvdb1
