This is an RSpec for getting extra storage space on an ExoGENI VM of type XOXLarge.
Note the line:
<storage:storage resource_type="LUN" do_format="true" fs_param="-F -b 1024" fs_type="ext4" mnt_point="/mnt" capacity="942"/>
Reduce the "942" to a smaller number if you don't need so much space.
Your slice will appear to have two resources: one called "master" and one called "master-stor". Log in to the one called "master" (when it is available).
ExoGENI VMs use /bin/sh as the default shell; if you prefer Bash (as all normal people would), just run bash when you log in to get a Bash shell.
To start off with, you'll have 75 GB of storage (since this is an XOXLarge). Additionally, this RSpec gives you another ~942 GB of storage mounted at /mnt, which you can see in the following output:
ffund01@master:~$ df -h
