Overview

Represents an attachment of an Amazon EBS volume to an instance.

Examples:

Create an empty 15GiB volume and attach it to an instance

volume = ec2.volumes.create(:size => 15,
                            :availability_zone => "us-west-2a")
attachment = volume.attach_to(ec2.instances["i-123"], "/dev/sdf")
sleep 1 until attachment.status != :attaching

Remove all attachments from a volume and then delete it

volume.attachments.each do |attachment|
  attachment.delete(:force => true)
end
sleep 1 until volume.status == :available
volume.delete

Returns:

  • (Time) —

    Returns the time at which this attachment was created.

attribute :attach_time

#delete(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Detaches the volume from its instance.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (options):

  • :force (Boolean) —

    Forces detachment if the previous detachment attempt did not occur cleanly (logging into an instance, unmounting the volume, and detaching normally). This option can lead to data loss or a corrupted file system. Use this option only as a last resort to detach a volume from a failed instance. The instance will not have an opportunity to flush file system caches or file system metadata. If you use this option, you must perform file system check and repair procedures.
