NAME

       sxvol-create - create volumes on SX clusters

SYNOPSIS

       sxvol create [OPTIONS] -r N -s SIZE -o username sx://[profile@]cluster/volume

DESCRIPTION

       Create a remote volume with specific settings. Only cluster administrators can create volumes.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Print help and exit

       --full-help
              Print help, including hidden options, and exit

       -V, --version
              Print version and exit

       -r, --replica=NUMBER
              Set  the replica count for the volume. This is a mandatory option and specifies how many times the
              data will be replicated on different nodes. For example, with replica count 2 the volume data will
              still  be  available  when one of the nodes, which includes the volume data fails (because there's
              still another node with the copy of the data).

       -o, --owner=NAME
              Set the owner of the volume. The owners can modify volume ACLs (see sxacl(1)) and other  settings.
              This option is mandatory.

       -s, --size=SIZE
              Set  the  size  of  the  new  volume.  The  size can be followed by one of the following suffixes:
              K(-ilobytes), M(-megabytes), G(-igabytes) and T(-erabytes) suffixes. This option is mandatory.

       -f, --filter=NAME[="FILTER_OPTIONS"]
              Enable selected filter for the new volume. The filters can do some additional  processing  of  the
              data (such as compression or encryption), see sxvol-filter(1) for more information.

       --max-revisions=NUMBER
              Set  the  maximum  number  of  revisions  to keep for files in the volume. The revisions are other
              versions of the file stored when the file gets modified. The default value is 1, which means  that
              only  a  single  version  of  the  file  will  be  stored. See sxrev(1) for more information about
              revisions.

       -D, --debug
              Enable debug messages

       -c, --config-dir=PATH
              Path to the SX configuration directory (default: ~/.sx)

       -c, --filter-dir=PATH
              Path to the SX filter directory (default: /usr/lib/sxclient)

EXAMPLES

       To create a 5GB volume 'data' with replica count 2, owned by 'joe', which  uses  the  compression  filter
       'zcomp' run:
           sxvol create -r 2 -o joe -s 5G -f zcomp sx://admin@cluster/data

       To create an encrypted volume with replica 3 and default settings for 'admin' run:
           sxvol create -r 3 -o admin -f aes256 sx://admin@cluster/encrypted
