Attach and Mount a Volume

Attach to a VM

From the volume detail page, click Attach to VM and select a running VM in the same zone.

Or from the VM's create form — select an existing volume under Select or Create Volumes.

Mount on the VM

After attaching, SSH into the VM and mount the volume:

# Confirm the device name
lsblk

# If not already formatted (skip if you checked "Format on creation")
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb

# Create a mount point and mount
mkdir -p /mnt/data
mount /dev/vdb /mnt/data

# Persist across reboots
echo '/dev/vdb /mnt/data ext4 defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

Detach

Unmount first, then detach from the UI:

umount /mnt/data

Then click Detach on the volume detail page. The volume returns to Ready status and can be attached to a different VM.
