Using extra storage
Got a bump from Linode on disk space.
I assume, that I can create a filesystem using that extra space and mount it on my Debian 6 system.
I created a FS called storage 56gb using ext3.
Question, what device would this be allocated to so that I can mount it?
I see on the current system that
root is /dev/xvda and
swap is /dev/xvdb
but I don't see a similar dev for the new space.
Do I need to do something on the Debian system to create the device to link to it?
What do I need to be able to mount the new space.

I chose to do the first. I created the filesystem as storage and then edited the configuration to add that disk and rebooted. When it rebooted, the necessary dev was then available to allow being added to /etc/fstab
