Mary Paulraj Hi David, I did exactly what you said and it is working now. However, mic2574661@alpha:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 2.4G 707M 1.6G 31% / tmpfs 385M 0 385M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 24K 10M 1% /dev tmpfs 385M 4.0K 385M 1% /dev/shm /dev/xvdb 15G 166M 14G 2% /srv/d_alpha /dev/xvdb 15G 166M 14G 2% /data /dev/xvdb 15G 166M 14G 2% /srv/d_alpha How do I get rid of the two superfluous entries in /srv Thanks Mary.

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
