1. Rock over to the GUI, click on the instance your interested in 2. Get the ID of the volume from the Volumes tab. For example 4bedcf64-5526-4777-bac1-98c638c32116
3. Jump into MySQL client and run this query: mysql> select folder,path from cloud.volumes WHERE uuid='4bedcf64-5526-4777-bac1-98c638c32116' \G *************************** 1. row *************************** folder: /mnt/volgroup/primary1/export path: 12485e60-5700-4783-a8b5-b34a03e4bc3b 1 row in set (0.00 sec) 4. So the path to your volume's file will be folder+path.vhd, which in my case here will be: /mnt/volgroup/primary1/export/12485e60-5700-4783-a8b5-b34a03e4bc3b.vhd Just to prove it: # du -h /mnt/volgroup/primary1/export/12485e60-5700-4783-a8b5-b34a03e4bc3b.vhd 267M /mnt/volgroup/primary1/export/12485e60-5700-4783-a8b5-b34a03e4bc3b.vhd CloudMonkley> destroy virtualmachine id=ee781871-ba63-41e0-835a-cde5edfefcfb *twiddle thumbs waiting for expunge* # du -h /mnt/volgroup/primary1/export/12485e60-5700-4783-a8b5-b34a03e4bc3b.vhd du: cannot access `/mnt/volgroup/primary1/export/12485e60-5700-4783-a8b5-b34a03e4bc3b.vhd': No such file or directory Disk is gone. The theory is sound. Hope this helps.
