Quote

To be honestly, Although I try some cloud platforms from basic to complicate, Azure has priority when I want use computing. This platform support more services, tools, utility which helpful a lot for uses. Not comparison between multiple Cloud platforms, In this series, I want to contribute why I choose Azure, what helpful services, some top of architecture and infrastructure, role of Azure Cloud with DevOps, Developers, … and what I archive when doing with Azure

Azure Virtual Machine

Add a new disk for your linux virtual machine

You can check about that via Azure Article - Use the portal to attach a data disk to a Linux VM or Azure Article - Add a disk to a Linux VM

1. Add a new disk with portal or azcli

2. Login to your machine with ssh, try to find your disk with not formatted yet via lsblk

   lsblk -o NAME,HCTL,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT | grep -i "sd"

   

   sdc disk actually not mount, that target disk you need to format and attach to your machine

3. Partition the disk when you attach a new one, you can follow instruction about Create a Partition in Linux - A Step-by-Step Guide, Prepare a new empty disk, https://phoenixnap.com/kb/linux-format-disk to understand way to handle that

   sudo parted /dev/sdc --script mklabel gpt mkpart xfspart xfs 0% 100%
   sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc1
   sudo partprobe /dev/sdc1

4. Mount your partition disk into the directories of machine via mount

   sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /root

   

5. Check your disk is add to /etc/fstab, you can use blkid to handle that

   sudo blkid

   

Info

In my situation, when mount to / instead of /root, It makes some change and gave you new definition for your current route, mean /dev/sdc1 will replace default disk and can be cause the problem, I think 😄. Just umount and repeat mount again

After that you can be make some mistake but if you want grant permission, you can continue for your progress in down below

# Change ownership of your drive
sudo chown <your-username> /dev/sda3
 
# Change mount write permission
# NOTE: Umount before to do
sudo umount /dev/sda3
sudo mount -o /dev/sda3 /my-drive-locate
 
# Change permission of your file inside to user
sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /my-drive-locate

And now you can use it like usual disk
