Hello Everyone,

I am using below docker-compose.yml to create a volume and then attaching to my jenkins image.

> ```
> version: '2'
> services:
> Jenkins:
> ports:
> - 8080:8080
> image: jenkins/jenkins:lts
> stdin_open: true
> volumes:
> - jenkinsdata:/data
> volumes:
> jenkinsdata:
> driver: rancher-nfs
> external: true
> driver_opts:
> onRemove: retain
> 
> ```

However, in the Storage pools, I am seeing volume name as Jenkins\_jenkinsdata\_079e7 instead of jenkinsdata

 ![rancherpools](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/suse/original/2X/c/c01eb64c2f87f31cc69695ab8b650b06f67fed79.JPG)

Is this the expected behaviour for stack scoped volumes?

Thanks,  
Vishnu

> In Rancher, stack scoped volumes are named with the stack name as a prefix to indicate which stack the volume is scoped to and suffixed with a random number to guarantee no duplication. When referencing the volume, you still use the original volume name. For example, if you create a volume called foo in stackA, the volume name in the UI and on your hosts will be stackA\_foo\_, but to use the same volume in your service, you would use the name foo.

@jrosengren  
Thank you. It makes sense. I somehow overlooked this particular section in the document.
