<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">You can also use StarCluster to list your volumes:<br>
<br>
$ starcluster listvolumes<br>
<br>
If you only want details on a single volume:<br>
<br>
$ starcluster listvolumes -v vol-999999<br>
<br>
You can also filter volumes by status, size, zone, snapshot id, etc.<br>
Pass --help to the listvolumes command for more details.<br>
