I like "storage" and in the context of Tails I find it much more
meaningful and less esoteric than "volume".
I think that when we first decided on using the term "persistent volume"
we did so because we thought that it was incorrect to say "persistent
storage" without adding "persistent storage device" or something behind it.
But
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/storage says that storage is "a
space for storing goods" and give as example "virtual storage",
"computer storage". So this should work and I'm all for it.

I'm glad it's yours and I hope to be myself always flexible to change :)
