I am new to ubuntu , please help me i need create /data and mount this file system /dev/sdb
I have no clue as to how to do it . I read about mount and unmount , but I am still unable to create.
Below is the current structure .
Pdpie#ubuntu:/dev$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 18G 4.0G 13G 24% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev 984M 4.0K 984M 1% /dev
tmpfs 199M 1.5M 198M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 994M 152K 994M 1% /run/shm
none 100M 44K 100M 1% /run/user
I wanted to see like this below
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 18G 4.0G 13G 24% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

none 994M 152K 994M 1% /run/shm
none 100M 44K 100M 1% /run/user
/dev/sdb 50M /data
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.

I have a LiteSpeed server with a Wordpress/woocommerce website on it.
Every few days my /tmp folder runs out of inodes, which effectively disables the website.
Here is what I get, after running df -i, please note the /dev/loop0 part.
root#openlitespeed:~# df -i

/dev/loop0 1.5G 13M 1.4G 1% /tmp
tmpfs 395M 0 395M 0% /run/user/0
The folder is full of "sess_" files.
Right now I constantly monitor the folder and issue:
find /tmp/ -mindepth 1 -mtime +5 -delete
Which kinda helps, but is not ideal.
How can I reconfigure to increase the inodes?
Where to look?
Edit:
I have redis, and it's enabled in LiteSpeed Cache plugin.
It's all on DigitalOcean VPS, with 2CPUs and 4 GB RAM. Ubuntu 18.04.
Why does it even have just 96k inodes with the size of 1.5G, when tmpfs has much more?
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 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:
dmesg | grep swap

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'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 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 have attached a new volume to an EC2 instance. Volume was attached successfully.Below the output of command.
df -h

When i tried to add new cronjob it shows the error that there is no space left.
sudo crontab -e
/tmp/crontab.jVOoWT/crontab: No space left on device
Your /tmp directory is full, first remove the files from your temp directory by issuing the command below
rm -rf /tmp/*
Run your crontab again
sudo crontab -e
Please execute df -i may be inode's 100% full Remove unnecessary file from /var
run your crontab again
crontab -e
I had the same issue on AWS and ultimately the solution was to boost the capacity of the hard drive. Solved the issue.
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%.
my backup path is : /opt/gitlab-6.5.1-0/apps/gitlab/htdocs/tmp/backups$ls

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.
