Portworx Volumes Lab. Explore existing volumes, create and update new volumes.
In this lab, we will explore the learn how to show and inspect volumes using pxctl. We will then create new volumes, attach them to a host and copy data in to the volume.
Congratulations!

Add data to the mount
Q12. Touch a file called 'file_added_on_node03' inside the mount /var/lib/osd/mounts/testvol on node03
