INCUS.STORAGE.VOLUME.EDIT(1)

💖 incus-storage-volume-edit — aka incus storage volume edit 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Incus command line client manual, and specifically to the part where you get to ✨edit storage volume configurations as YAML✨. yes. YAML. in your editor. at runtime. iconic behaviour, honestly. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

incus-storage-volume-edit — Edit storage volume configurations as YAML

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

incus storage volume edit [:] [/][/] [flags]

ngl the formatter chewed up the placeholders here, but the vibe is: the optional bits in brackets are the <remote>: and <pool>/ prefixes, then the volume itself, then whatever [flags] you wanna throw at it. 🎀

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Description:

Edit storage volume configurations as YAML 🫶

so here's the tea: if you don't say what type the volume is, Incus lowkey just assumes the type is "custom". no drama, no questions asked.

the supported values for type are "custom", "container" and "virtual-machine". that's the whole roster, periodt. 👑

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --target="" — Cluster member name

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these ones you get for free from the parent command, no cap:

• --debug[=false] — Show all debug messages
• --explain[=false] — If the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it
• --force-local[=false] — Force using the local unix socket
• -h, --help[=false] — Print help
• --project="" — Override the source project
• -q, --quiet[=false] — Don't show progress information
• --sub-commands[=false] — Use with help or --help to view sub-commands
• -v, --verbose[=false] — Show all information messages
• --version[=false] — Print version number

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

incus storage volume edit default container/c1
    Edit container storage volume "c1" in pool "default"

incus storage volume edit default foo < volume.yaml
    Edit custom storage volume "foo" in pool "default" using the content of volume.yaml

look at that second one. piping a whole YAML file straight in with <. chef's kiss. 🧚 that's the good stuff.
