Re: passing the name while creating a volume in aws-ec2 using jclouds

[Jeremy Daggett <je...@RACKSPACE.COM>]

EBS volumes do not have names associated with them. If you want to name
it, you would do so by attaching a ³name² tag [1][2] to the EBS volume
using the jclouds EC2 TagApi [3].

HTH!

Since the Volume domain object [1] does not even contain a property  
"name", I suspect there is unfortunately currently no way to do this,  
no.

Looking at the underlying API call documentation [2], I don't see any  
mention of a "name" property, though. Could you indicate which of the  
returned properties you would expect to be treated as the name?
