Storage

It could be great to be able to get emails when volumes harddrive are nearly full like normal droplet.

Currently the Graphs do not display disk utilization for attached volumes. This should be added.

It would be great if I could just create a volume and transparently write as much data as I want without worrying about resizing. Then get billed per GB used.

Please add snapshot scheduling on volume block storage to regularly make snapshot and to avoid needing to do it manually or to give API access to another system. A retention configuration would also be great to remove old snapshots automatically.

Since alot of people would like to use docker specifically swarm, it is challenging in digitalocean as we do not have shared storage so that means I cannot utilize the resources (CPU/RAM) of the other nodes and only to use one service on one node. when it is down then the storage and floating ip will be used by another node in swarm, but at the end it is only one service with no replicas Since we do not have shared storage, I love digitalocean and it's simplicity, but this is a crucial feature that it is missing! You can provide service like managed NFS, iSCSI LUNs which can be attached to multiple VMs/nodes at once (multipathing).

DigitalOcean does not provide the possibility to monitor certain metrics of a block storage device, and display these metrics in graphs. Just for Droplets. It would be a great help to have a way to see, for example, the % of storage disk usage of a block of volume(s) over time, its evolution in hours or days, similar to what we have for Droplets. It would be a great improvement and very useful to have the possibility to create a Resource Alert when Disk Utilization is running high for a Volume or Volumes added to a specific droplet. Thank you for your support. Cheers, Nelson

I was wondering what happens if the volume reaches its capacity. It would be nice to have an option to auto scale storage size if that happens.

The ability to migrate volume snapshots (block storage) to new datacenters is important for risk mitigation and improving SLA's. Please add functionality to mirror the transfer of Droplet snapshots.
