Mounting External Volumes Inside Container
External volumes are those drives inside a Container that can be added to the default C: drive. The Volumes page opened on following the Volumes link on the Configuration tab of the Container dashboard enables you to perform the following operations:
- Add additional disk drives to your Container (by following the New Volume link);
- Increase/decrease the current size of the disk drive and modify its measurement units (by clicking on a drive in the Volumes table);
- Mount a Hardware Node image file to a Container virtual drive (by following the Mount Disk Image link);
- Unmount an existing disk drive from your Container (by selecting the corresponding checkbox in the Volumes table and clicking Unmount);
- Unmount an existing disk drive from your Container and remove the corresponding image file from the Hardware Node (by selecting the corresponding checkbox in the Volumes table and clicking Delete);
- Mount a Hardware Node physical device to a Container virtual drive (by following the Mount Device link).
The Volumes table lists all the available drives inside the Container, including the default C: drive:
