delete server %s: getting infos for volume %s

Error message

delete server %s: getting infos for volume %s

What it means

In DeleteServer, while detaching etcd volumes before terminating, the GetVolume call for one of the server's volumes failed. Note this error message omits the underlying error (%w is not used), so the SDK cause is lost — only the server and volume IDs are reported.

Solutions

1. Check the volume exists in the Scaleway console using the logged volume ID
2. Verify IAM permissions for volume reads
3. Re-run deletion after investigating manually, since the cause is not wrapped
