Attach a volume to a cluster machine

Attach and mount a volume on a cluster machine

Prerequisites

• An existing volume (see Create a volume)
• A cluster with at least one machine (see Create a cluster)

Attach the volume

1. Open Clusters and select your cluster.
2. Open the action menu (⋮) for the target cluster machine.
3. Click Attach volume.
4. Select the volume and confirm.

The volume is now available to mount from the machine.

Mount the volume (Ubuntu example)

SSH into the cluster machine and run:

sudo apt install -y nfs-common
sudo mkdir -p /data

Add an /etc/fstab entry (replace IP_ADDRESS):

IP_ADDRESS:/data /data nfs rw,nconnect=16,nfsvers=3 0 0

Mount all defined entries:

sudo mount -a

Verify:

df -h | grep /data

Unmount

sudo umount /data

Remove the corresponding line from /etc/fstab if you no longer want it auto-mounted.
