Problem description

No data exists in the original data disk directory during instance startup after you migrate a Linux server.

Cause

By default, the data disks are not attached during instance startup after you migrate a Linux server that are configured with data disks.

Solution

After you start your Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance, run the ls /dev/vd* command to view the data disks. Attach the data disks based on your business requirements. Edit the configuration file in the /etc/fstab directory to allow the data disks to be automatically attached during instance startup.
