Creating a Compressed Volume

The lbcli create volume command also supports a flag to enable data to be compressed as much as possible in a volume.

Use the lbcli create volume command to create a volume with compression enabled (true).

Sample Command

$ lbcli create volume --name=vol2 --acl=acl1 --size="1 Tib" --replica-count=3 --compression=true

In this command, the JWT is not stored in the lbcli configuration file::

$ lbcli -J $JWT create volume --size="1 Tib" --name=vol2 --acl="acl1" --replica-count=2 --compression=true --project-name=default

Sample Output

Name      UUID                                   State      Protection State   NSID      Size      Replicas   Compression   ACL              Rebuild Progress

vol2      105624dd-c96f-4668-a2a2-da0b754ac462   Creating   NotAvailable       0         1.0 TiB   3          true          values:"acl1"

The sample output is standard when using the lbcli immediately after executing the create command. The output indicates that the volume is being created with the values provided.
