How to Use Block Storage with Your Linode | Expand Your Server's Storage Capacity

Linode’s Block Storage service provides a method of adding additional storage drives to Compute Instances, enabling you to store more data without resizing your Compute Instance to a larger plan. These storage drives, called Volumes, can be formatted with any Linux-compatible file system and attached and mounted to a Compute Instance. In this video, we'll go over formatting, mounting, resizing, and other aspects of working with Block Storage on Linode.

Thanks for the great explanation! I have setup Nextcloud for a client of mine. They needed a bit more space to store media files so I attached a 100GB Volume and mapped it to a group folder for everyone to share without filling up the main disk.

A really nice clear explanation, thanks Jay!

I'm beginning to really like Linode.

Can we increase the sizing of disk if a application already writing to that disk?

[@abrotherinchrist]

Can you just add storage to you existing Linode?
