Amazon Making EBS Volume Available for Use

Instructions here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-using-volumes.html

Linux List Attached Drives

After adding a drive, it will not be visible to the OS until it is mounted and attached. To view it, use the "lsblk" command.

To check the filesystem status of the drive, use the "file -s /dev/<device>" command. If the response is "data". It means the drive is unformatted.
