💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is lxc-storage-volume-show — it shows storage volume configurations. that's it. that's the whole gig. it's the "lemme just peek at the receipts" of the storage volume world ✨

this page lives in the LXD - Command line client(1) manual, and yep, that's the whole family vibe 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxc storage volume show [:] [/][/] [flags]

like, you give it a pool, maybe a type, maybe a name, maybe a snapshot, and a bunch of flags. the brackets are doing a lot of heavy lifting here and honestly? iconic 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description:

Show storage volume configurations 💖

that's the official description, verbatim, and it's giving "short but confident." no cap. the way it just... says the thing and dips 😭

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --target="" — cluster member name`` 💫 (and yes, the stray backticks are literally in the original manpage — not me, i promise 🙈)

---

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

these are the hand-me-downs from the parent commands, and honestly they ate:

• --debug[=false] — show all debug messages 🔥
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket 💅
• -h, --help[=false] — print help 🫶
• --project="" — override the source project`` 🌸 (again with the stray backticks — the manpage is just Like That)
• -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 👑

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

okay so here's the whole tutorial arc, and it's genuinely useful, ngl:

provide the type of the storage volume if it is not custom. supported types are custom, image, container and virtual-machine.

add the name of the snapshot if type is one of custom, container or virtual-machine.

lxc storage volume show default data
    Will show the properties of a custom volume called "data" in the "default" pool.

so that one's a plain custom volume named data chillin' in the default pool 💖

lxc storage volume show default container/data
    Will show the properties of the filesystem for a container called "data" in the "default" pool.

this one's the filesystem of a container called data in the default pool — note the container/ prefix bestie, that's the whole point 🧚

lxc storage volume show default virtual-machine/data/snap0
    Will show the properties of snapshot "snap0" for a virtual machine called "data" in the "default" pool.

and this absolute main character right here? that's snapshot snap0 of the virtual machine data in the default pool. three levels. virtual-machine/data/snap0. it's giving nesting doll energy and i'm obsessed 💀✨
