I just created a server on AWS using the Turnkey hub. I added an additional EBS drive, but I don't know where it is. Where is it mounted?

If you browse to the servers page and click your server (so it opens the full server info). Assuming that you have already attached it, it should show the volume label to the right of where it says "EBS volume". Click on that (it should be a text link) and it will open a pop over which details where the volume should be attached.

FWIW I just went through the steps to ensure I wasn't leading you astray and it says mine is attached to /dev/sdf however, in my server there is no /dev/sdf it is actually /dev/xsdf ! It appears that it is not partitioned or mounted by default so it looks like you will need to take care of that yourself.

That's what I found too. It looks like the stuff I read is out of date. At least it gets mounted to dev. I can handle the rest.

If so could you please provide links so we can make sure that we update them. Actually our docs (i.e. turnkeylinux.org/docs/...) are a wiki and you can directly edit them yourself if you have the inclination.

Also as you've possibly noticed we have a really bad habit of writing a blog post on something and then using that as a defacto doc. The problem comes when they get out of date...

We have plans to improve our docs, but like everything else around here, there are too many jobs and not enough hours in the day... :)

From https://hub.turnkeylinux.org/servers/ Click on "Attach EBS volume", then click the (?) on the popup. That brings you to https://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/ebsmount  which seems to be out of date.
