# Make dir for volume:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/volume_name

## Warning: Do this only if volume is new: ##
# Delete data and format volume:
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/nvme1n1p1

# Mount it:
sudo mount /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt/volume_name

# Set up fstab to auto-mount on start:
nano /etc/fstab

Add this to the end of fstab:
