You will need to edit your /etc/fstab to have it auto-mounted at boot time. The last line in that guide has it mounted to /ssd for you, so if you want it somewhere else, you will need to edit /etc/fstab manually.

I am curious about the SSD's you use. I have a 10GB partition on my VDS. Is that a slice of a larger drive like the HDD's? Is it an Intel? MLC or SLC?

I'm also curious if these are running the Intel toolbox and what kind TRIM or garbage collection is going on for the drives to maintain read/write performance. I don't imagine we'd be able to run that kinda' stuff if it is a portion of a larger drive, since partitions are a whole 'nother ball game on the NAND flash.

It is a slice of an SSD-based RAID. These RAIDs make use of Intel MLC drives.

Unfortunately, TRIM does not with RAIDs, and TRIM commands further aren't passed through by Xen. This means that we have to rely more on Intel's internal load-levelling, but reviews indicate that it is effective, and there's performance degradation over time should be fairly minimal. Failure rates on the Intel drives are also very low.
