I've created a new EC2 instance and setting up a bunch of software on it. MongoDB 3.2's Production checklist suggests installing it on an XFS (or ext4) volume. How do I create a volume of, say 15 GB, out of /dev/xvda1, format is as XFS using mkfs and then mount it? Here's the output of df -h right now:
udev 492M 12K 492M 1% /dev
tmpfs 100M 340K 99M 1% /run
/dev/xvda1 30G 2.5G 26G 9% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 497M 0 497M 0% /run/shm
none 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user
OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Does it have to be the root partition?
If not, you can simply create a new volume in the AWS EC2 UI and attach it to the instance. It will show up as e.g. /dev/xvdf and you can format and mount it.
Also, this might answer your question.

I'm using a DS4 Azure VM (Ubuntu 14.04). It comes with a 56GB local SSD.
I need to set up a 25GB swapfile in this local SSD. When I do df -h in the VM, I can see that it seems to be mapped to the /mnt/ folder. Following is the entire output:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 29G 22G 6.4G 77% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev 14G 4.0K 14G 1% /dev
tmpfs 2.8G 472K 2.8G 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 14G 0 14G 0% /run/shm
none 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user
none 64K 0 64K 0% /etc/network/interfaces.dynamic.d
/dev/sdb1 56G 97M 56G 1% /mnt
However, if I try to initialize a swapfile in /mnt, it still gets added to the available disk space in /dev/sda1.
What do I need to do to set up my swap file? An illustrative example would be great. Thanks in advance.
I normally use the following commands to set up a swapfile:
sudo fallocate -l 25G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
Update:
I went into /etc/waagent.conf, and tweaked the followed:
# Format if unformatted. If 'n', resource disk will not be mounted.
ResourceDisk.Format=y
# File system on the resource disk
# Typically ext3 or ext4. FreeBSD images should use 'ufs2' here.
ResourceDisk.Filesystem=ext4
# Mount point for the resource disk
ResourceDisk.MountPoint=/mnt
# Create and use swapfile on resource disk.
ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y
# Size of the swapfile.
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=26000
After this, I resized (and consequently rebooted) my Azure VM from the portal. Currently I can't tell whether the settings have taken effect. Are my settings correct and what's the best way to ensure they've taken effect?
You are right, we should modify /etc/waagent.conf to add a swap file.
By modifying the /etc/waagent.conf file and setting the following 3 parameters a swap file will be created in the directory defined by ResourceDisk.MountPoint
ResourceDisk.Format=y
ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=26000
Then we should restart walinuxagent:
service walinuxagent restart
Commands to show the new swap space in use after agent restart:

I resized (and consequently rebooted) my Azure VM from the portal
I resized my VM, and the swap file does not lose.
Are my settings correct and what's the best way to ensure they've
taken effect?
After modify the /etc/waagent.conf and restart walinuxagent, we can use swapon -s to check it.
I am creating an Azure VM using docker-machine as follows.
docker-machine create --driver azure --azure-size Standard_DS2_v2 --azure-subscription-id #### --azure-location southeastasia --azure-image canonical:UbuntuServer:14.04.2-LTS:latest --azure-open-port 80 AwesomeMachine
following the instructions here. Azure VM docs say - Max. disk size of Standard_DS2_v2 is 100GB,
however when I login to the machine (or create a container on this machine), the max available disk size I see is 30GB.
$ docker-machine ssh AwesomeMachine
docker-user#tf:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 29G 6.9G 21G 25% /

none 64K 0 64K 0% /etc/network/interfaces.dynamic.d
/dev/sdb1 14G 35M 13G 1% /mnt
What is the meaning of Max. disk size then? Also what is this /dev/sdb1? Is it usable space?
My bad, I didn't look at the documentation carefully.
Wo when --azure-size is Standard_DS2_v2, Local SSD disk = 14 GB, which is /dev/sdb1, while
--azure-size Standard_D2_v2 gives you Local SSD disk = 100 GB.
Not deleting the question in case somebody else makes the same stupid mistake.
I know there is no way to know REAL SIZE of volume through webdav protocol,
so MS Windows' is showing the SAME SIZE OF THE SYSTEM DRIVE. (usually, C:)
ref : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2386902
Then, which value is referenced by davfs in ubuntu 14.04?
In my case>
$ df -h

I used 50G disk and root partition(sda1) is 46G, but Total size of webdav is 26G and used 13G.
I can't determine what kind of rule(?) was used to show the webdav size and couldn't find the DOCUMENTATION about this anywhere.
Someone knows about this?
There is actually a way to communicate the real available space via the quota properties:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4331
It's pretty widely supported, apparently just not by Windows.
Hey guys I am new to this Git and Linux..please can you let me know, how to copy data backup (here is backup.tar) to a new disk, as my root directory is showing 100%.

How do copy to disk3 and remove the backup from the old drive.
Downvoted because it's not a question about git per se, rather a question about Linux...
Anyway, use the mv command to move (or rename) files from one place to another. Or use the cp command to copy them then rm to delete.
Take a look at this tutorial for more help on how to move files around.
I am new to ubuntu , please help me i need create /data and mount this file system /dev/sdb

Can anyone please help me step by step.
Thanks
You need to create your mount point first:
sudo mkdir /data
Then mount the sdb1 (if sdb1 is what you want) to it:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /data
Done
PS: To check which one you want to mount run sudo fdisk -l
Follow these steps
1.Create a directory which you want that is mkdir /data
2.Then you will use mount command to mount /data directory to sdb1 which is like this mount /dev/sdb1
3.Then to take it immediate effect use this command mount -a
4.Then to check it you can use df-h
What about the following?
# mkdir /data
# mount /dev/sdb1 /data
If you don't have /dev/sdb<number>, you'll have to create partitions with e.g. parted or fdisk.
