PHP Linux How To Upload Files Into Block Storage

PHP Linux How To Upload Files Into Block Storage

Sometimes, you may need to use a huge amount of additional storage, and so some providers provide something called object storage, block storage or something along that line.

To store files or upload them into your object or block storage, there are 3 solutions.

1. Change Mount Point
To do this, you basically need to modify your /etc/fstab file.
Example Commands :

1. 1. modify /etc/fstab file : vi /etc/fstab
      You may have a line that looks like the one below

      /dev/sda1 /blockstorage ext4 defaults 00
      

      So you just have to modify the 2nd field which is the mount point/directory

   2. reload : mount -a
      note: you can use findmnt to check if your mount point has changed
      note: you may need to change the owner and group using chown

2. Use symlink command

ln -s  <somewhere in mount point> <somewhere in web directory>
ln -s /blockstorage /home/website.com/public_html/some_directory
