i followed tutorial google has on youtube creating custom image compute engine using virtualbox link follow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylcr6zlebtm

i have succeed in created custom images , imported google compute engine. when try follow document attached new persistent disk :

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/persistent-disks#attachdiskcreation

the document mentions command line tool :

/usr/share/google/safe_format_and_mount

but folder /usr/share/google not exist in custom image. how can install ? or there way mount new persistence disk in gce instance ?

the /usr/share/google/safe_format_and_mountcommand comes google compute engine image packages. can see source code here.

you can either install packages or run these commands:

1- determine device location of new persistent disk: ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/google-*. let's suppose it's /dev/sdb

2- sudo mkfs.ext4 -e lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 -f /dev/sdb

3- sudo mount -o discard,defaults /dev/sdb <destination_folder>

run df-h or mount check if disk mounted in destination folder.
