Block Storage (Volumes)

Detachable NVMe-backed block devices. Attach to any running VM, snapshot online, online grow.

Tutorial

1. Create a volume

From /portal/volumes/new or:

cloudnx volume create --name data-01 --size 100

2. Attach to an instance

The volume appears at /dev/vdb (or the next available /dev/vd*) — format and mount with the standard tools.

cloudnx volume attach data-01 --instance web-01
# on the VM:
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb
sudo mount /dev/vdb /mnt/data

3. Grow online

Resize is non-disruptive; expand the filesystem inside the VM with resize2fs or equivalent.

cloudnx volume resize data-01 --size 200
