Mount Longhorn Volume to Host

In this short article I want to show how to mount a longhorn volume temporally to the host system.

First, checkout on longhorn UI the name of your PVC volume: (eg. pvc-6c9...)

In the terminal, run the following command:

sudo lsblk -f

You should see this kind of output:

In my example under the sdb device a longhorn volume is found.

Then create a directory:

sudo mkdir my-longhorn-volume
sudo mount /dev/sdb my-longhorn-volume

Now you can access the longhorn volume in the folder my-longhorn-volume

If you are finished with editing, deleting or creating files you need to unmount and remove the folder:

sudo umount /dev/sdb my-longhorn-volume
sudo rm -R my-longhorn-volume
