I decided to opt for the 4 OCPU/24GB instance and then use my remaining 150GB block storage creating a storage volume. When creating this there are a few things to note: +* Ensure the availability domain is the same between instance and block storage +* When you're attaching the volume to the instance, use *paravirtualized* instead of ISCSI + +Now, you can check your storage is available by issuing `lsblk`, your disk should be listed as `/dev/sdb`. To start using this storage you can do the following: +``` +fdisk /dev/sdb +n +{enter} +{enter} +{enter} +{enter} +w +``` +This should give us a new partition to use. We can now format it to ext4 with: +``` +mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 +``` +We can also reduce the reserved space on this partiton giving us a little more breathing room: +``` +tune2fs -m1 /dev/sdb1 +``` +All that's left now is to edit `/etc/fstab` and add an entry like the following: +``` +/dev/sdb1 /mnt/tank ext4 rw,nofail 0 0 +``` +You can now mount everything using `mount -a`, and you're done. + +* **Edit 2022-03-08:** Added block storage instructions
