Attaching file storage to a VM

Written by

If a virtual machine has been launched and is running (the RUNNING status), stop it.
Attach file storage to the VM in Compute Cloud:
Management console

API
1. In the management console, select the folder where you created the file store.
2. Select Compute Cloud.
3. On the left-hand panel, select File storage.
4. Select the desired storage.
5. Go to the Virtual machines tab.
6. Click Attach to VM.
7. In the window that opens:
  1. Select the VM.
  2. Specify the Device name for accessing file storage in the VM.
  3. Click Attach to VM.
Use the InstanceService/AttachFilesystem gRPC API method or the attachFilesystem method of the REST API Instance resource.

Mount file storage to the VM:

Connect to the VM via SSH.

Run the command:

sudo mount -t virtiofs <device name> <mount path>

To check that your file store is mounted, run the command:

df -T

Result:

Filesystem        Type         1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev              devtmpfs        988600       0    988600   0% /dev

tmpfs             tmpfs             5120       0      5120   0% /run/lock
tmpfs             tmpfs          1017604       0   1017604   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs             tmpfs           203520       0    203520   0% /run/user/1000
filesystem        virtiofs      66774660       0  66774660   0% /mnt/vfs0

In order for file storage to be mounted every time the VM is started, add a line to the /etc/fstab file in the following format:
```
<device name>  <mount path> virtiofs    rw    0   0
```
