A single volume can range from 1 to 1024 gigabytes in size and costs $0.10/GiB per month. They can be partitioned however you like and can accommodate any filesystem type you choose. Up to eight volumes can be attached to a single Linode, be it new or already existing, so you do not need to recreate your server to add a block storage volume. Block Storage is currently in a free public beta for Linodes in our Newark and Fremont datacenters. Any feedback you can give on the service would also be helpful and is appreciated. -![Block storage title graphic](/docs/assets/block-storage-title-graphic.png) +{{< caution >}} +- Linode's backup services do not cover block storage volumes.

In this scenario, the block storage volume will be available to the operating system as `/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_EXAMPLE`, where `EXAMPLE` is a name you assign the volume. Storage volumes can be added when your Linode is already running, and will show immediately in `/dev/disk/by-id/`. +This guide assumes a Linode with the root disk mounted as `/dev/sda` and swap space mounted as `/dev/sdb`.
