Mounting an Additional Disk with data for Node Storage on OpenShift 4
Issue
Administrators may want to attach and mount an additional disk on OpenShift nodes without formatting it (i.e., preserving existing data). Common requirements include:
- Mounting an additional disk to the RHOCP worker nodes
- Avoiding reformatting if the disk already contains data
- Mounting an existing XFS-formatted disk at a specific path like
/mnt/test
