Synopsis
Attach or detach volumes from Droplets. Block storage actions are commands that can be given to a DigitalOcean Block Storage Volume. Each volume may only be attached to a single Droplet. However, up to five volumes may be attached to a Droplet at a time. Pre-formatted volumes will be automatically mounted to Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Fedora Atomic, and CentOS Droplets created on or after April 26, 2018 when attached. On older Droplets, additional configuration is required. View the API documentation at https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#tag/Block-Storage-Actions.
