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:

Column Name	Description
Mount Point	The name of the drive as it is seen inside the Container.
Device	This can be either a file or a physical device on the Hardware Node that is mounted to the mount point.
