  1. Locate the snapshot in EC2 > Snapshots
  2. Actions > Create volume from snapshot
  3. Locate the new volume in EC2 > Volumes
  4. Actions > Attach volume
  5. Confirm volume is attached to instance (ls -l /dev/nvme1*)
  6. Confirm volume has same UUID as the root disk (blkid)
  7. Change volume UUID to avoid conflicts (uuidgen && xfs_admin -U GENERATED_UUID_HERE /dev/nvme1n1p1)
  8. Confirm UUID was changed (blkdid)
  9. Mount filesystem (mount -t xfs /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt)

If step 7 complains about XFS log existing, run xfs_repair -L and retry.
