+Functions for managing volumes in juju units. One volume is supported per unit.
+Subordinates may have their own storage, provided it is on its own partition.
+
+Configuration stanzas::
+
+  volume-ephemeral:
+    type: boolean
+    default: true
+    description: >
+      If false, a volume is mounted as sepecified in "volume-map"
+      If true, ephemeral storage will be used, meaning that log data
+         will only exist as long as the machine. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
+  volume-map:
+    type: string
+    default: {}
+    description: >
+      YAML map of units to device names, e.g:
+        "{ rsyslog/0: /dev/vdb, rsyslog/1: /dev/vdb }"
+      Service units will raise a configure-error if volume-ephemeral
+      is 'true' and no volume-map value is set. Use 'juju set' to set a
+      value and 'juju resolved' to complete configuration.
+
+Usage::
