+Volume Configuration
+To get started with a new volume, you’ll want to create a filesystem on it:
+
+Create a Filesystem
+mkfs.ext4 "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_ValVol202609"
+THIS STEP HAS BEEN COMPLETED
+
+Once the volume has a filesystem, you can create a mountpoint for it:
+
+Create a Mountpoint
+mkdir "/mnt/ValVol202609"
+THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED WORKING
+
+Then you can mount the new volume:
+
+Mount Volume
+mount "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_ValVol202609" "/mnt/ValVol202609"
+THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED WORKING
+
+If you want the volume to automatically mount every time your Linode boots, you’ll want to add a line like the following to your /etc/fstab file:
+
+Mount every time your Linode boots
+/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_ValVol202609 /mnt/ValVol202609 ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2
