Hi,

I have created a multiattach volume and attached it to several Windows VMs/Instances. Is there away in OpenStack to drop all data written by each VM/instances?

I am supposed to periodically detach and attach the multiattach volume.

You need to use a cluster-aware filesystem if you are attaching the same volume to multiple VM instances. With Windows I think this is typically done using Cluster Shared Volumes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/failover... You will get data corruption if you use a standard NTFS filesystem.
