I created a snapshot of one of my disks in gcloud. I can see the new snapshot listed in the "snapshots" tab.

How can I now recreate this disk? - I want to test the recovery of an backup.

I followed this instructions and created a new instance with the disk attached: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/restore-and-delete-snapshots

enter image description here

I ssh´ed to the instance then and tried to find the disk, but it seems not to be attached? What am I doing wrong?

Ok found it out. The disk needs to be mounted:

mkdir /demo-mount
sudo mount -o discard,defaults /dev/sdb /demo-mount
