The sub-commands of doctl compute volume manage your block storage volumes.
Block storage volumes provide expanded storage capacity for your Droplets, ranging in size from 1GiB to 16TiB.
Volumes function as raw block devices, meaning they appear to the operating system as locally attached storage which can be formatted using any filesystem supported by the OS. They can be moved between Droplets located in the same region as the volume.
