Why handle Digitalocean in this way please?

Hello,

I checked at https://docs.wordops.net/guides/wordops-with-digitalocean-volume/

Create directory /var/www where we will mount the volume and WordOps will be installed.


mkdir -p /var/www
Mounting the volume¶

Steps 5 and 6 are according to DigitalOcean -> Volumes -> 'More' tab of YOUR-VOLUME -> Config instructions

5) Mount Digital Ocean's volume in /var/www


mount -o discard,defaults,noatime /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_YOUR-VOLUME /var/www
6) Change fstab so the volume will be mounted after a reboot


echo '/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_YOUR-VOLUME /var/www ext4 defaults,nofail,discard 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

what this way is recommended please, any benefit please?

Thanks

Volumes are most useful when you need more storage space but don’t need the additional processing power (CPU) or memory.
