#### 2.)  To attach volume you need to create filesystem ext4 first

```
mkfs.ext4 "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_qlauncher"
```

#### 3.) Then create directory

```
mkdir -p "/mnt/qlauncher"
```

#### 4.) Then mount the volume

```
mount "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_qlauncher" "/mnt/qlauncher"
```

#### 5.) Optionally if you want automatic mount volume on boot

```
echo /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_qlauncher /mnt/qlauncher ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2 >> /etc/fstab
```

#### 6.) Check the volume

```
df -h
```
