Short description of error
Hello, hope this finds you well!
I noticed the Datablocks list does not mention Volumes as a type, and does not state behavior brought on by @skip_packed decorator on VDB volumes.
That behavior being the ability to pack an external VDB, but not the ability to read a packed VDB, requiring the VDB to be unpacked before loading their contents.
Behavior and issues are confirmed here:
blender/blender-asset-tracer#92884 (comment)
blender/blender#100592 (comment)
Lack of explanation of this behavior has lead to a bit of user confusion.
Thank you for your time!
