INCUS.STORAGE.VOLUME.CREATE(1)

👑 incus-storage-volume-create 👑

okay bestie, welcome to the Incus command line client manual, and specifically the page for incus-storage-volume-create. yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it, it's iconic like that 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

incus-storage-volume-create — creating brand new custom storage volumes, bestie. that's the whole job. that's the vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

incus storage volume create [:]  [=...] [flags]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so real talk: this one makes you a new custom storage volume. fresh out the box, zero notes, main character energy ✨

like, that's literally it. that's the description. "Create new custom storage volumes." slay.

---

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --description="" — drop a little description on the volume so future-you (or your bestie) knows what it's for 🫶
• --target="" — the name of the cluster member you're aiming this at 👑
• -t, --type="filesystem" — what kind of content it's holding: either block or filesystem. default is filesystem, no cap 💅

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these ones you got from the parent command, like hand-me-downs but make them couture:

• --debug[=false] — spill all the debug messages 🔥
• --explain[=false] — if your command is actually valid, it parses the args and explains them to you instead of running anything. it's giving "let me read you your fortune" 🔮
• --force-local[=false] — forces using the local unix socket, periodt
• -h, --help[=false] — prints the help. classic. beloved. 🙈
• --project="" — overrides the source project 🎀
• -q, --quiet[=false] — no progress info, we're being mysterious 💀
• --sub-commands[=false] — use this with help or --help to peek at the sub-commands 👀
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all the information messages, we're nosy and that's fine 🦋
• --version[=false] — prints the version number ⭐

---

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

incus storage volume create default foo
    Create custom storage volume "foo" in pool "default"

incus storage volume create default foo < config.yaml
    Create custom storage volume "foo" in pool "default" with configuration from config.yaml

so the first one is the classic move: make a volume called foo in the pool called default, boom, done 💅

and the second one? that's the glow up version. you pipe config.yaml in with < and your volume shows up fully styled with the config from that file. obsessed. 😭
