I moved a volume to a new droplet and all of the data was lost

Posted on October 17, 2024

I moved a volume that was attached to an existing droplet to a new droplet. Then I ran the commands to mount it to the new droplet.

mkdir -p /mnt/test
mount -o discard,defaults,noatime /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_test /mnt/test

When i checked the directory it was empty, I tried to repeat it a few times and it still empty. When I run df -h can see it is mounted but empty
