4.4.5.1. File System Volume

The driver deployment creates storage-classes that correspond to each of the NVMesh default VPGs.

The following storage classes will appear under namespace “nvmesh-csi”:

• nvmesh-concatenated
• nvmesh-raid0
• nvmesh-raid1
• nvmesh-raid10
• nvmesh-ec
  

*Before creating a FileSystem volume, see Important Notes and Known Issues.

Create a PersistentVolumeClaim of type RAID1

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: nvmesh-raid1
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 3Gi
  storageClassName: nvmesh-raid1

• This will default to a FileSystem Volume with ext4.

Create a Storage-Class for volumes with the XFS FileSystem

kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: nvmesh-xfs-class
provisioner: nvmesh-csi.excelero.com
allowVolumeExpansion: true
volumeBindingMode: Immediate
parameters:
  vpg: DEFAULT_CONCATENATED_VPG
  fsType: xfs

Create a volume from the XFS Storage-Class

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: nvmesh-xfs-volume
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 3Gi
  storageClassName: nvmesh-xfs-class
