How do I Move services to a different volume?
I am thinking of adding Block storage to my Linode. I plan to move an existing Teamtalk server to that Volume. I also want to put an Icast server to that volume. Is there a way to transfer these servers to a block storage volume? I am new at this whole networking process, and am looking to learn as much as I can.

The block storage will be presented as another hard drive to your Linode; you don’t need to worry about the networking :)
You would therefore only need to worry about moving the data.
I’m not too familiar with Teamtalk, but let’s say it stores its data in /var/teamtalk.
Once you have configured your volume using the instructions presented in the Cloud Manager, you could move the folder to the volume like so:
mv /var/teamtalk /mnt/your-volume/
You could then configure Teamtalk to look to /mnt/your-volume/teamtalk for its data.
Alternatively you could “symlink” the old location to the new one so Teamtalk doesn’t know any different.
ln -s /mnt/your-volume/teamtalk /var/teamtalk
