create a new mount point at `/myvol` and copy the `greeting` file
into the newly created volume.

### Notes about specifying volumes
> **Note**:
> If any build steps change the data within the volume after it has been
> declared, those changes will be discarded.
Keep the following things in mind about volumes in the `Dockerfile`.
> **Note**:
> The list is parsed as a JSON array, which means that
> you must use double-quotes (") around words not single-quotes (').
- **Volumes on Windows-based containers**: When using Windows-based containers,
the destination of a volume inside the container must be one of:
- a non-existing or empty directory
- a drive other than `C:`
>**Note**: The host directory is, by its nature, host-dependent. For this
>reason, you can't mount a host directory from `Dockerfile`, the `VOLUME`
instruction does not support passing a `host-dir`, because built images
>should be portable. A host directory wouldn't be available on all potential
>hosts.
- **Changing the volume from within the Dockerfile**: If any build steps change the
data within the volume after it has been declared, those changes will be discarded.
- **JSON formatting**: The list is parsed as a JSON array.
You must enclose words with double quotes (`"`)rather than single quotes (`'`).
- **The host directory is declared at container run-time**: The host directory
(the mountpoint) is, by its nature, host-dependent. This is to preserve image
portability. since a given host directory can't be guaranteed to be available
on all hosts.For this reason, you can't mount a host directory from
within the Dockerfile. The `VOLUME` instruction does not support specifying a `host-dir`
parameter. You must specify the mountpoint when you create or run the container.
