How to set up my spare disk
===========================

Access to Disk
--------------

If you created a VPS based on OS template as follows, your extra disk space
is at ``/dev/vdb`` device.

* CentOS 6

Please format, mount and use it.  For example
the following example is mouting your disk at ``/data`` directory after
formatting it with EXT4.

.. code-block:: bash

   $ mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb 
   mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
   /dev/vdb is entire device, not just one partition!
   Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
   Discarding device blocks: done

   Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks
   1310720 inodes, 5242880 blocks

   Writing inode tables: done                            
   Creating journal (32768 blocks): done
   Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

   This filesystem will be automatically checked every 36 mounts or
   180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

   $ mkdir /data
   $ mount /dev/vdb /data
   $ df -h
