<p class="shortdesc"></p> <p class="p">EBS supports operations such as expanding capacity, unmounting, mounting, and releasing disks. Through different operations on an EBS disk, it will be in the following status: </p> <ul class="ul" id="status__ul_hwm_frc_rlb"> <li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Creating (Interim status) </strong><p class="p">Just after creating an EBS disk, you need to wait a few minutes until the disk is created. During this period, the EBS disk status will be marked as “Creating.”</p></li> <li class="li"><strong class="ph b">In-use (Stable status) </strong><p class="p">After an EBS disk is created, its status becomes “In-use.” An EBS disk is mounted at the same time when you create it. Therefore, “In-use” indicates that you have created an EBS disk and also mounted it. The EBS disk can be used normally. Besides, after you unmount an EBS disk and then mount it again, its status will also eventually turn into “In-use.”</p></li> <li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Unmounting (Interim status)</strong><p class="p">After you unmount an EBS disk on the console, you need to wait a few minutes until the operations are finished. During this period, the EBS disk status will be marked as “Unmounting.”</p></li> <li class="li"><strong class="ph b">To be Mounted (Stable status)</strong><p class="p">After you unmount an EBS disk and do not mount it to any ECS instance, the EBS disk status will be marked as “To be Mounted.” EBS disks in this status can be mounted. </p></li> <li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Mounting (Interim status)</strong><p class="p">After you mount an EBS disk to be mounted, you need to wait a few minutes until the operations are finished. During this period, the EBS disk status will be marked as “Mounting.” After that, the EBS disk status will become “In-use.”</p></li> <li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Releasing (Interim status)</strong><p class="p">After you release an EBS disk on the console, you need to wait a few minutes until the operations are finished. During this period, the EBS disk status will be marked as “Releasing.” EBS disks successfully released will disappear from the disk list. </p></li> <li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Expanding (Interim status)</strong><p class="p">After you expand the capacity of an EBS disk on the console, you need to wait a few minutes until the operations are finished. During this period, the EBS disk status will be marked as “Expanding.” After the capacity expansion is finished, the EBS disk status becomes “In-use.”</p></li> </ul>
