Volumes

The lifecycle of a volume, from provisioning to deletion, is covered under Usage. This section covers what is operated on an existing volume: moving its backing logical volume between storage nodes, reclaiming the blocks its filesystem no longer uses, and getting a workload back to work after its NVMe-oF paths were gone.

Topic Purpose
Volume Migration Moving the backing logical volume between storage nodes while the volume stays online.
Trimming a Filesystem Reclaiming the unused blocks of a thin-provisioned logical volume.
Recovering from Path Loss Restoring a workload whose I/O failed while its NVMe-oF paths were gone.
