Note: On EC2 instance dashboard it displays
Root device: /dev/sda1
Block devices: /dev/sda1 /dev/sdf
Answer:
The df -k will only show mounted volumes.
You will need to mount your volume first, like this mount /dev/xvdf /mnt then you will be able to access it’s content from /mnt and see it when typing df -k
