Hi there @AnoopKakkur,
I wouldn’t recommend mounting your root partition on the block storage.
Instead, I would suggest mounting your working directory to the block storage, for example, if you are storing your project at
/var/www/htmlmount that specific folder. You can follow the steps on how to do that here:https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/volumes/how-to/mount/
