+container is running or not. 
 
-  VOLUME ["/var/volume1", "/var/volume2"]

-Mount Volumes from an Existing Container:
------------------------------------------
+Creating and mounting a Data Volume Container
+---------------------------------------------
 
-The command below creates a new container which is running as daemon
-``-d`` and with one volume ``/var/lib/couchdb``::
+If you have some persistent data that you want to share between containers, 
+or want to use from non-persistent containers, its best to create a named
+Data Volume Container, and then to mount the data from it.
 
-  COUCH1=$(sudo docker run -d -v /var/lib/couchdb shykes/couchdb:2013-05-03)
+Create a named container with volumes to share (``/var/volume1`` and ``/var/volume2``)::
 
-From the container id of that previous container ``$COUCH1`` it's
-possible to create new container sharing the same volume using the
-parameter ``-volumes-from container_id``::
+  $ docker run -v /var/volume1 -v /var/volume2 -name DATA busybox true
 
-  COUCH2=$(sudo docker run -d -volumes-from $COUCH1 shykes/couchdb:2013-05-03)
+Then mount those data volumes into your application containers::
 
-Now, the second container has the all the information from the first volume.
+  $ docker run -t -i -rm -volumes-from DATA -name client1 ubuntu bash
 
+You can use multiple ``-volumes-from`` parameters to bring together multiple 
+data volumes from multiple containers. 
+
+Interestingly, you can mount the volumes that came from the ``DATA`` container in 
+yet another container via the ``client1`` middleman container::
+
+  $ docker run -t -i -rm -volumes-from client1 ubuntu -name client2 bash
+
+This allows you to abstract the actual data source from users of that data, 
+similar to :ref:`ambassador_pattern_linking <ambassador_pattern_linking>`.
+
+If you remove containers that mount volumes, including the initial DATA container, 
+or the middleman, the volumes will not be deleted until there are no containers still
+referencing those volumes. This allows you to upgrade, or effectivly migrate data volumes
+between containers.
