Documented steps

  1. Create a volume: Python `from e2b import Volume; v = Volume.create('my-volume')`; JS `const v = await Volume.create('my-volume')`.
  2. Reconnect later: `Volume.connect('volume-id')`; enumerate with `Volume.list()`; inspect with `Volume.get_info('volume-id')`.
  3. Mount it on a sandbox at create time with `Sandbox.create(volume_mounts={'/data': v})` (dict mapping mount path -> volume).
  4. Read/write files under the mount path inside the sandbox as usual.
  5. Delete it when done: `Volume.destroy('volume-id')`.
