# Command: volume detach

The `volume detach` command detaches external storage volumes with Nomad's
[Container Storage Interface (CSI)][csi] support.

## Usage

```plaintext
nomad volume detach [options] [volume] [node]
```

The `volume detach` command requires two arguments, specifying the ID of the
volume to be detached and the node to detach it from. Detaching will fail if
the volume is still in use by an allocation.

## General Options
