If you need to format, please run the following command, if you don’t format, there may be an error

 mkdir -p /ssd

Then you need to start automatically or process daemon, the process daemon can use the process daemon manager of the pagoda, and the command to automatically run at startup is as follows

 echo "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0BUYVM_SLAB_VOLUME-12645 /ssd ext4 defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Finally, remember that the machine and the storage block must be used together, but you can give up the renewal fee. After all, the supply is not very sufficient. In addition, it is recommended to pay with Alipay, which is much cheaper.
