I had a similar problem in January. I went to this page:
https://www.gandi.net/admin/hosting/disk/4...
and created the disk, and then attached it to my server.

This process created a new device /dev/xvdb and mounted it at /srv/data1
by some magic (I thought that only I had root access!). 

The mount appeared in /etc/mtab, but not in /etc/fstab. I feared that
without an entry in fstab, it would be unlikely to survive a reboot. I
also wanted to change the mount point, so I mounted it instead at /data,
and added this line to fstab:
/dev/xvdb /data ext3 rw,noatime 0 0

Just to make sure, I rebooted my server (simply by typing reboot at the
root prompt). The reboot was quick - around 50 seconds. Everything came
up OK and the mount was still there.

Apart from this, everything has worked well.
