hi guys
if i got a volume with some files, upon detaching all files are lost, what if i try to atach to a completely different droplet, lets say i detach my ubuntu volume and i try to atach it onto a perforce one, is it possible?
basically:
when detaching, is all my info deleted or corrupted, can i attach it again to the original droplet with ease?
can i attach a volume to a completely unrelated droplet from where the volume originally was, will files get pruned?

Hi there,
The DigitalOcean Volumes are designed to be persistent form of block storage meaning that when you detach a volume from one Droplet, the data on it remains intact. Also, to address your questions individually:
When detaching, is all my info deleted or corrupted?
Can I attach it again to the original Droplet with ease?
Can I attach a volume to a completely unrelated Droplet from where the volume originally was?
Will files get pruned?
However, a few things to note:
ext4
, there should be no issues.Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
