Vultr最近改版了，看起来不太习惯，不过还是不丑的。Vultr今年应该会发展更好，又要新上个亚洲机房。这不又来做活动了，每个用户能申请免费50G的硬盘
50G 硬盘是SATA-based with an SSD cache
目前只可以挂在在 NY/NJ节点
Attach block storage as a secondary drive to instances in NY/NJ.
好多人说赠送的50G是永久的，但是我要明确的告诉你不是永久的，只是在BETA期间。
官方说明：
During the Beta period, Block Storage will be available in our New Jersey location for no additional charge.

50G Block Storage使用教程：

• 官方文档：https://www.vultr.com/docs/block-storage
• 第一步：你要有个vultr NJ的小鸡
• 第二步：领取50G Block Storage

• 第三步：attach Block Storage

• 第四步：分区，格式化，mount

#分区
parted -s /dev/vdb mklabel gpt
parted -s /dev/vdb unit mib mkpart primary 0% 100%

#格式化
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb1
mkdir /mnt/blockstorage
#开机自动挂载
echo >> /etc/fstab
echo /dev/vdb1               /mnt/blockstorage       ext4    defaults,noatime 0 0 >> /etc/fstab
mount /mnt/blockstorage

fdisk -l

删除VPS后，保存在Block Storage的数据并不会消失，保存时长未知，最好备份一份，VPS脚本自动备份数据到Dropbox 只需要新建VPS，重新挂载即可，正确的挂载方式：

新建VPS，连接Block Storage，点击：Attach按钮，系统会自动链接，链接完成后，VPS会自动重启，重启完成后执行以下命令，记得不要执行上面的命令，上面的命令是第一次挂载需要格式化Block Storage这个数据盘：

[root@vultr ~]# fdisk -l
