Ville Ojamo e5355e3d66 doc/cephfs: fix prompts in fs-volumes.rst
Modernize prompts in example commands in file
fs-volume.rst and use a root prompt correctly instead
of using a non-privileged prompt when privileges
are needed.

Indent all JSON in example command outputs with
four spaces consistently instead of a mix of four and
two spaces.

FS volumes and subvolumes
=========================
The volumes
module of the :term:`Ceph Manager` daemon (ceph-mgr) provides a single
source of truth for CephFS exports. The OpenStack shared
file system service (manila_) and Ceph Container Storage Interface (CSI_)
storage administrators among others can use the common CLI provided by the
ceph-mgr volumes module to manage CephFS exports.
The ceph-mgr volumes module implements the following file system export
abstractions:
* FS volumes, an abstraction for CephFS file systems
* FS subvolumes, an abstraction for independent CephFS directory trees
* FS subvolume groups, an abstraction for a directory level higher than FS
subvolumes to effect policies (e.g., :doc:`/cephfs/file-layouts`) across a
set of subvolumes
Some possible use-cases for the export abstractions:
* FS subvolumes used as Manila shares or CSI volumes
* FS subvolume groups used as Manila share groups
Requirements
------------
* Nautilus (14.2.x) or later Ceph release
* Cephx client user (see :doc:`/rados/operations/user-management`) with
at least the following capabilities::
mon 'allow r'
mgr 'allow rw'
FS Volumes
----------
Create a volume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs volume create <vol_name> [<placement>]
This creates a CephFS file system and its data and metadata pools. It can also
deploy MDS daemons for the filesystem using a ceph-mgr orchestrator
module (see :doc:`/mgr/orchestrator`), for example Rook.
<vol_name> is the volume name (an arbitrary string), and
<placement> is an optional string that designates the hosts that should have
an MDS running on them and, optionally, the total number of MDS daemons the cluster
should have. For example, the
following placement string means "deploy MDS on nodes ``host1`` and ``host2`` (one
MDS per host):
"host1,host2"
and this placement specification says to deploy two MDS daemons on each of
nodes ``host1`` and ``host2`` (for a total of four MDS daemons in the cluster):
"4 host1,host2"
For more details on placement specification refer to the :ref:`orchestrator-cli-service-spec`,
but keep in mind that specifying placement via a YAML file is not supported.
To remove a volume, run the following command::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs volume rm <vol_name> [--yes-i-really-mean-it]
This removes a file system and its data and metadata pools. It also tries to
remove MDS daemons using the enabled ceph-mgr orchestrator module.
List volumes using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs volume ls
Rename a volume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs volume rename <vol_name> <new_vol_name> [--yes-i-really-mean-it]
Renaming a volume can be an expensive operation that requires the following:
- Rename the orchestrator-managed MDS service to match the <new_vol_name>.
This involves launching a MDS service with <new_vol_name> and bringing down
the MDS service with <vol_name>.
- Rename the file system matching <vol_name> to <new_vol_name>
- Change the application tags on the data and metadata pools of the file system
to <new_vol_name>
- Rename the metadata and data pools of the file system.
The CephX IDs authorized for <vol_name> need to be reauthorized for <new_vol_name>. Any
on-going operations of the clients using these IDs may be disrupted. Mirroring is
expected to be disabled on the volume.
To fetch the information of a CephFS volume, run::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs volume info vol_name [--human_readable]
The ``--human_readable`` flag shows used and available pool capacities in KB/MB/GB.
The output format is JSON and contains fields as follows:
* ``pools``: Attributes of data and metadata pools
* ``avail``: The amount of free space available in bytes
* ``used``: The amount of storage consumed in bytes
* ``name``: Name of the pool
* ``mon_addrs``: List of Ceph monitor addresses
* ``used_size``: Current used size of the CephFS volume in bytes
* ``pending_subvolume_deletions``: Number of subvolumes pending deletion
Sample output of the ``volume info`` command::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs volume info vol_name
::
{
"mon_addrs": [
"192.168.1.7:40977"
],
"pending_subvolume_deletions": 0,
"pools": {
"data": [
{
"avail": 106288709632,
"name": "cephfs.vol_name.data",
"used": 4096
}
],
"metadata": [
{
"avail": 106288709632,
"name": "cephfs.vol_name.meta",
"used": 155648
}
]
},
"used_size": 0
}
FS Subvolume groups
-------------------
Create a subvolume group using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup create <vol_name> <group_name> [--size <size_in_bytes>] [--pool_layout <data_pool_name>] [--uid <uid>] [--gid <gid>] [--mode <octal_mode>]
The command succeeds even if the subvolume group already exists.
When creating a subvolume group you can specify its data pool layout (see
:doc:`/cephfs/file-layouts`), uid, gid, file mode in octal numerals, and
size in bytes. The size of the subvolume group is specified by setting
a quota on it (see :doc:`/cephfs/quota`). By default, the subvolume group
is created with octal file mode '755', uid '0', gid '0' and the data pool
layout of its parent directory.
Remove a subvolume group using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup rm <vol_name> <group_name> [--force]
The removal of a subvolume group fails if it is not empty or non-existent.
'--force' flag allows the non-existent subvolume group remove command to succeed.
Fetch the absolute path of a subvolume group using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup getpath <vol_name> <group_name>
List subvolume groups using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup ls <vol_name>
.. note:: Subvolume group snapshot feature is no longer supported in mainline CephFS (existing group
snapshots can still be listed and deleted)
Fetch the metadata of a subvolume group using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup info <vol_name> <group_name>
The output format is JSON and contains fields as follows:
* ``atime``: access time of the subvolume group path in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
* ``mtime``: modification time of the subvolume group path in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
* ``ctime``: change time of the subvolume group path in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
* ``uid``: uid of the subvolume group path
* ``gid``: gid of the subvolume group path
* ``mode``: mode of the subvolume group path
* ``mon_addrs``: list of monitor addresses
* ``bytes_pcent``: quota used in percentage if quota is set, else displays "undefined"
* ``bytes_quota``: quota size in bytes if quota is set, else displays "infinite"
* ``bytes_used``: current used size of the subvolume group in bytes
* ``created_at``: creation time of the subvolume group in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
* ``data_pool``: data pool to which the subvolume group belongs
Check the presence of any subvolume group using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup exist <vol_name>
The 'exist' command outputs:
* "subvolumegroup exists": if any subvolumegroup is present
* "no subvolumegroup exists": if no subvolumegroup is present
.. note:: This command checks for the presence of custom groups and not presence of the default one. To validate the emptiness of the volume, a subvolumegroup existence check alone is not sufficient. Subvolume existence also needs to be checked as there might be subvolumes in the default group.
Resize a subvolume group using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup resize <vol_name> <group_name> <new_size> [--no_shrink]
The command resizes the subvolume group quota using the size specified by ``new_size``.
The ``--no_shrink`` flag prevents the subvolume group from shrinking below the current used
size.
The subvolume group may be resized to an infinite size by passing ``inf`` or ``infinite``
as the ``new_size``.
Remove a snapshot of a subvolume group using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup snapshot rm <vol_name> <group_name> <snap_name> [--force]
Supplying the ``--force`` flag allows the command to succeed when it would otherwise
fail due to the snapshot not existing.
List snapshots of a subvolume group using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup snapshot ls <vol_name> <group_name>
FS Subvolumes
-------------
Create a subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume create <vol_name> <subvol_name> [--size <size_in_bytes>] [--group_name <subvol_group_name>] [--pool_layout <data_pool_name>] [--uid <uid>] [--gid <gid>] [--mode <octal_mode>] [--namespace-isolated]
The command succeeds even if the subvolume already exists.
When creating a subvolume you can specify its subvolume group, data pool layout,
uid, gid, file mode in octal numerals, and size in bytes. The size of the subvolume is
specified by setting a quota on it (see :doc:`/cephfs/quota`). The subvolume can be
created in a separate RADOS namespace by specifying --namespace-isolated option. By
default a subvolume is created within the default subvolume group, and with an octal file
mode '755', uid of its subvolume group, gid of its subvolume group, data pool layout of
its parent directory and no size limit.
Remove a subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume rm <vol_name> <subvol_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>] [--force] [--retain-snapshots]
The command removes the subvolume and its contents. It does this in two steps.
First, it moves the subvolume to a trash folder, and then asynchronously purges
its contents.
The removal of a subvolume fails if it has snapshots, or is non-existent.
'--force' flag allows the non-existent subvolume remove command to succeed.
A subvolume can be removed retaining existing snapshots of the subvolume using the
'--retain-snapshots' option. If snapshots are retained, the subvolume is considered
empty for all operations not involving the retained snapshots.
.. note:: Snapshot retained subvolumes can be recreated using 'ceph fs subvolume create'
.. note:: Retained snapshots can be used as a clone source to recreate the subvolume, or clone to a newer subvolume.
Resize a subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume resize <vol_name> <subvol_name> <new_size> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>] [--no_shrink]
The command resizes the subvolume quota using the size specified by ``new_size``.
The `--no_shrink`` flag prevents the subvolume from shrinking below the current used size of the subvolume.
The subvolume can be resized to an unlimited (but sparse) logical size by passing ``inf`` or ``infinite`` as `` new_size``.
Authorize cephx auth IDs, the read/read-write access to fs subvolumes::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume authorize <vol_name> <sub_name> <auth_id> [--group_name=<group_name>] [--access_level=<access_level>]
The 'access_level' takes 'r' or 'rw' as value.
Deauthorize cephx auth IDs, the read/read-write access to fs subvolumes::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume deauthorize <vol_name> <sub_name> <auth_id> [--group_name=<group_name>]
List cephx auth IDs authorized to access fs subvolume::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume authorized_list <vol_name> <sub_name> [--group_name=<group_name>]
Evict fs clients based on auth ID and subvolume mounted::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume evict <vol_name> <sub_name> <auth_id> [--group_name=<group_name>]
Fetch the absolute path of a subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume getpath <vol_name> <subvol_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
Fetch the information of a subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume info <vol_name> <subvol_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
The output format is JSON and contains fields as follows.
* ``atime``: access time of the subvolume path in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
* ``mtime``: modification time of the subvolume path in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
* ``ctime``: change time of the subvolume path in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
* ``uid``: uid of the subvolume path
* ``gid``: gid of the subvolume path
* ``mode``: mode of the subvolume path
* ``mon_addrs``: list of monitor addresses
* ``bytes_pcent``: quota used in percentage if quota is set, else displays ``undefined``
* ``bytes_quota``: quota size in bytes if quota is set, else displays ``infinite``
* ``bytes_used``: current used size of the subvolume in bytes
* ``created_at``: creation time of the subvolume in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
* ``data_pool``: data pool to which the subvolume belongs
* ``path``: absolute path of a subvolume
* ``type``: subvolume type indicating whether it's clone or subvolume
* ``pool_namespace``: RADOS namespace of the subvolume
* ``features``: features supported by the subvolume
* ``state``: current state of the subvolume
If a subvolume has been removed retaining its snapshots, the output contains only fields as follows.
* ``type``: subvolume type indicating whether it's clone or subvolume
* ``features``: features supported by the subvolume
* ``state``: current state of the subvolume
A subvolume's ``features`` are based on the internal version of the subvolume and are
a subset of the following:
* ``snapshot-clone``: supports cloning using a subvolumes snapshot as the source
* ``snapshot-autoprotect``: supports automatically protecting snapshots, that are active clone sources, from deletion
* ``snapshot-retention``: supports removing subvolume contents, retaining any existing snapshots
A subvolume's ``state`` is based on the current state of the subvolume and contains one of the following values.
* ``complete``: subvolume is ready for all operations
* ``snapshot-retained``: subvolume is removed but its snapshots are retained
List subvolumes using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume ls <vol_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
.. note:: subvolumes that are removed but have snapshots retained, are also listed.
Check the presence of any subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume exist <vol_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
These are the possible results of the ``exist`` command:
* ``subvolume exists``: if any subvolume of given group_name is present
* ``no subvolume exists``: if no subvolume of given group_name is present
Set custom metadata on the subvolume as a key-value pair using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume metadata set <vol_name> <subvol_name> <key_name> <value> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
.. note:: If the key_name already exists then the old value will get replaced by the new value.
.. note:: key_name and value should be a string of ASCII characters (as specified in python's string.printable). key_name is case-insensitive and always stored in lower case.
.. note:: Custom metadata on a subvolume is not preserved when snapshotting the subvolume, and hence, is also not preserved when cloning the subvolume snapshot.
Get custom metadata set on the subvolume using the metadata key::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume metadata get <vol_name> <subvol_name> <key_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
List custom metadata (key-value pairs) set on the subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume metadata ls <vol_name> <subvol_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
Remove custom metadata set on the subvolume using the metadata key::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume metadata rm <vol_name> <subvol_name> <key_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>] [--force]
Using the ``--force`` flag allows the command to succeed that would otherwise
fail if the metadata key did not exist.
Create a snapshot of a subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot create <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
Remove a snapshot of a subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot rm <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>] [--force]
Using the ``--force`` flag allows the command to succeed that would otherwise
fail if the snapshot did not exist.
.. note:: if the last snapshot within a snapshot retained subvolume is removed, the subvolume is also removed
List snapshots of a subvolume using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot ls <vol_name> <subvol_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
Fetch the information of a snapshot using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot info <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
The output format is JSON and contains fields as follows.
* ``created_at``: creation time of the snapshot in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:ffffff"
* ``data_pool``: data pool to which the snapshot belongs
* ``has_pending_clones``: ``yes`` if snapshot clone is in progress, otherwise ``no``
* ``pending_clones``: list of in-progress or pending clones and their target group if any exist, otherwise this field is not shown
* ``orphan_clones_count``: count of orphan clones if the snapshot has orphan clones, otherwise this field is not shown
Sample output when snapshot clones are in progress or pending::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot info cephfs subvol snap
::
{
"created_at": "2022-06-14 13:54:58.618769",
"data_pool": "cephfs.cephfs.data",
"has_pending_clones": "yes",
"pending_clones": [
{
"name": "clone_1",
"target_group": "target_subvol_group"
},
{
"name": "clone_2"
},
{
"name": "clone_3",
"target_group": "target_subvol_group"
}
]
}
Sample output when no snapshot clone is in progress or pending::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot info cephfs subvol snap
::
{
"created_at": "2022-06-14 13:54:58.618769",
"data_pool": "cephfs.cephfs.data",
"has_pending_clones": "no"
}
Set custom key-value metadata on the snapshot by running::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot metadata set <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> <key_name> <value> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
.. note:: If the key_name already exists then the old value will get replaced by the new value.
.. note:: The key_name and value should be a strings of ASCII characters (as specified in Python's ``string.printable``). The key_name is case-insensitive and always stored in lowercase.
.. note:: Custom metadata on a snapshot is not preserved when snapshotting the subvolume, and hence is also not preserved when cloning the subvolume snapshot.
Get custom metadata set on the snapshot using the metadata key::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot metadata get <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> <key_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
List custom metadata (key-value pairs) set on the snapshot using::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot metadata ls <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
Remove custom metadata set on the snapshot using the metadata key::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot metadata rm <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> <key_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>] [--force]
Using the ``--force`` flag allows the command to succeed that would otherwise
fail if the metadata key did not exist.
Cloning Snapshots
-----------------
Subvolumes can be created by cloning subvolume snapshots. Cloning is an asynchronous operation that copies
data from a snapshot to a subvolume. Due to this bulk copying, cloning is inefficient for very large
data sets.
.. note:: Removing a snapshot (source subvolume) would fail if there are pending or in progress clone operations.
Protecting snapshots prior to cloning was a prerequisite in the Nautilus release, and the commands to protect/unprotect
snapshots were introduced for this purpose. This prerequisite, and hence the commands to protect/unprotect, is being
deprecated and may be removed from a future release.
The commands being deprecated are::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot protect <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
ceph fs subvolume snapshot unprotect <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>]
.. note:: Using the above commands will not result in an error, but they have no useful purpose.
.. note:: Use the ``subvolume info`` command to fetch subvolume metadata regarding supported ``features`` to help decide if protect/unprotect of snapshots is required, based on the availability of the ``snapshot-autoprotect`` feature.
To initiate a clone operation use::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot clone <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> <target_subvol_name>
If a snapshot (source subvolume) is a part of non-default group, the group name needs to be specified::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot clone <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> <target_subvol_name> --group_name <subvol_group_name>
Cloned subvolumes can be a part of a different group than the source snapshot (by default, cloned subvolumes are created in default group). To clone to a particular group use::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot clone <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> <target_subvol_name> --target_group_name <subvol_group_name>
Similar to specifying a pool layout when creating a subvolume, pool layout can be specified when creating a cloned subvolume. To create a cloned subvolume with a specific pool layout use::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot clone <vol_name> <subvol_name> <snap_name> <target_subvol_name> --pool_layout <pool_layout>
Configure the maximum number of concurrent clones. The default is 4::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph config set mgr mgr/volumes/max_concurrent_clones <value>
To check the status of a clone operation use::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs clone status <vol_name> <clone_name> [--group_name <group_name>]
A clone can be in one of the following states:
#. ``pending`` : Clone operation has not started
#. ``in-progress`` : Clone operation is in progress
#. ``complete`` : Clone operation has successfully finished
#. ``failed`` : Clone operation has failed
#. ``canceled`` : Clone operation is cancelled by user
The reason for a clone failure is shown as below:
#. ``errno`` : error number
#. ``error_msg`` : failure error string
Here is an example of an ``in-progress`` clone::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot clone cephfs subvol1 snap1 clone1
ceph fs clone status cephfs clone1
::
{
"status": {
"state": "in-progress",
"source": {
"volume": "cephfs",
"subvolume": "subvol1",
"snapshot": "snap1"
}
}
}
.. note:: The ``failure`` section will be shown only if the clone's state is ``failed`` or ``cancelled``
Here is an example of a ``failed`` clone::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot clone cephfs subvol1 snap1 clone1
ceph fs clone status cephfs clone1
::
{
"status": {
"state": "failed",
"source": {
"volume": "cephfs",
"subvolume": "subvol1",
"snapshot": "snap1"
"size": "104857600"
},
"failure": {
"errno": "122",
"errstr": "Disk quota exceeded"
}
}
}
(NOTE: since ``subvol1`` is in the default group, the ``source`` object's ``clone status`` does not include the group name)
.. note:: Cloned subvolumes are accessible only after the clone operation has successfully completed.
After a successful clone operation, ``clone status`` will look like the below::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs clone status cephfs clone1
::
{
"status": {
"state": "complete"
}
}
If a clone operation is unsuccessful, the ``state`` value will be ``failed``.
To retry a failed clone operation, the incomplete clone must be deleted and the clone operation must be issued again.
To delete a partial clone use::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume rm <vol_name> <clone_name> [--group_name <group_name>] --force
.. note:: Cloning synchronizes only directories, regular files and symbolic links. Inode timestamps (access and
modification times) are synchronized up to seconds granularity.
An ``in-progress`` or a ``pending`` clone operation may be canceled. To cancel a clone operation use the ``clone cancel`` command::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs clone cancel <vol_name> <clone_name> [--group_name <group_name>]
On successful cancellation, the cloned subvolume is moved to the ``canceled`` state::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume snapshot clone cephfs subvol1 snap1 clone1
ceph fs clone cancel cephfs clone1
ceph fs clone status cephfs clone1
::
{
"status": {
"state": "canceled",
"source": {
"volume": "cephfs",
"subvolume": "subvol1",
"snapshot": "snap1"
}
}
}
.. note:: The canceled cloned may be deleted by supplying the ``--force`` option to the `fs subvolume rm` command.
.. _subvol-pinning:
Pinning Subvolumes and Subvolume Groups
---------------------------------------
Subvolumes and subvolume groups may be automatically pinned to ranks according
to policies. This can distribute load across MDS ranks in predictable and
stable ways. Review :ref:`cephfs-pinning` and :ref:`cephfs-ephemeral-pinning`
for details on how pinning works.
Pinning is configured by::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup pin <vol_name> <group_name> <pin_type> <pin_setting>
or for subvolumes::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume pin <vol_name> <group_name> <pin_type> <pin_setting>
Typically you will want to set subvolume group pins. The ``pin_type`` may be
one of ``export``, ``distributed``, or ``random``. The ``pin_setting``
corresponds to the extended attributed "value" as in the pinning documentation
referenced above.
So, for example, setting a distributed pinning strategy on a subvolume group::
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolumegroup pin cephfilesystem-a csi distributed 1
Will enable distributed subtree partitioning policy for the "csi" subvolume
group. This will cause every subvolume within the group to be automatically
pinned to one of the available ranks on the file system.
