1. Verify enough free disk exists before proceeding. In the example below, the additional free disk space is under nvme0n1.

   Code Block
   lsblk

   

2. Create the file system using the following command:

   Code Block
   mkfs.xfs /dev/$device

   
   

   Tip
   title Tip
   Replace $device with the name of your actual device in all the following commands. Examples are provided for the reference system.

   For example: 

   Code Block
   mkfs.xfs /dev/nvme0n1

   

3. Create the mount point for Docker using the following command:

   Code Block
   mkdir -p /var/lib/docker/

   

4. Mount the new file system at /var/lib/docker/:

   Code Block
   mount /dev/$device /var/lib/docker/

   For example: 

   Code Block
   mount /dev/nvme0n1 /var/lib/docker/

5. pdate Update /etc/fstab to ensure the changes are still present after a reboot: 

   Code Block
   echo "/dev/$device /var/lib/docker xfs    defaults,noatime  1   1" >> /etc/fstab/

   For example:

   Code Block
   echo "/dev/nvme0n1 /var/lib/docker xfs    defaults,noatime  1   1" >> /etc/fstab

6. Before continuing, ensure your system is up-to-date, and validate the storage configuration settings are accurate. Assuming that there are no other production applications running on this server, execute the following command: 

   Code Block
   apt-get update -y && reboot (Ubuntu) yum update -y && reboot (CentOS)

7. Validate the storage configuration settings are accurate after the reboot using the following command:

   Code Block
   df -h
