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
