Volumes
========

**Volumes** are network-based block storage.  This page is for managing volumes local to 
a particular slice.  For account-wide volume management, you will want to see the 
:doc:`../vols/volumes` area of the panel.

Volumes are priced at $0.10/month per GB of storage, e.g. 10GB = $1.00/month.

Create Volume
-------------

To create a new volume and attach it to the slice, click :guilabel:`Create Volume`.  A dialog
will prompt for a volume name, and size in GB.  The form will quote the monthly rate for the 
storage based on the amount requested. 

Click :guilabel:`Create` to proceed.  A new dialog will open providing instructions on how to 
format and mount your new volume.  It is okay if you close this window, as you can re-open it 
any time for reference (see below).  

.. Note::
   Slices can currently have a maximum of **4** volumes attached at any time, and the current 
   maximum volume size is **1500GB**.
