FS Subvolumes
-------------
-Create a subvolume using:
+Use a command of the following form to create a subvolume:
.. prompt:: bash #
The command succeeds even if the subvolume already exists.
-When creating a subvolume you can specify its subvolume group, data pool layout,
-uid, gid, file mode in octal numerals, and size in bytes. The size of the subvolume is
-specified by setting a quota on it (see :doc:`/cephfs/quota`). The subvolume can be
-created in a separate RADOS namespace by specifying --namespace-isolated option. By
-default a subvolume is created within the default subvolume group, and with an octal file
-mode '755', uid of its subvolume group, gid of its subvolume group, data pool layout of
-its parent directory and no size limit.

+The subvolume can be created in a separate RADOS namespace by specifying the
+``--namespace-isolated`` option. By default, a subvolume is created within the
+default subvolume group with an octal file mode of ``755``, a uid of its
+subvolume group, a gid of its subvolume group, a data pool layout of its parent
+directory, and no size limit.
-Remove a subvolume using:
+Use a command of the following form to remove a subvolume:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume rm <vol_name> <subvol_name> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>] [--force] [--retain-snapshots]
-The command removes the subvolume and its contents. It does this in two steps.
-First, it moves the subvolume to a trash folder, and then asynchronously purges
-its contents.
+This command removes the subvolume and its contents. This is done in two steps.
+First, the subvolume is moved to a trash folder. Second, the contents of that
+trash folder are purged asynchronously.
-The removal of a subvolume fails if it has snapshots, or is non-existent.
-'--force' flag allows the non-existent subvolume remove command to succeed.
+Subvolume removal fails if the subvolume has snapshots or is non-existent. The
+``--force`` flag allows the "non-existent subvolume remove" command to succeed.
-A subvolume can be removed retaining existing snapshots of the subvolume using the
-'--retain-snapshots' option. If snapshots are retained, the subvolume is considered
-empty for all operations not involving the retained snapshots.
+To remove a subvolume while retaining snapshots of the subvolume, use the
+``--retain-snapshots`` flag. If snapshots associated with a given subvolume are
+retained, then the subvolume is considered empty for all operations that do not
+involve the retained snapshots.
-.. note:: Snapshot retained subvolumes can be recreated using 'ceph fs subvolume create'
+.. note:: Snapshot-retained subvolumes can be recreated using ``ceph fs
+ subvolume create``.
-.. note:: Retained snapshots can be used as a clone source to recreate the subvolume, or clone to a newer subvolume.
+.. note:: Retained snapshots can be used as clone sources for recreating the
+ subvolume or for cloning to a newer subvolume.
-Resize a subvolume using:
+Use a command of the following form to resize a subvolume:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume resize <vol_name> <subvol_name> <new_size> [--group_name <subvol_group_name>] [--no_shrink]
-The command resizes the subvolume quota using the size specified by ``new_size``.
-The ``--no_shrink`` flag prevents the subvolume from shrinking below the current used size of the subvolume.
+This command resizes the subvolume quota, using the size specified by
+``new_size``. The ``--no_shrink`` flag prevents the subvolume from shrinking
+below the current "used size" of the subvolume.
-The subvolume can be resized to an unlimited (but sparse) logical size by passing ``inf`` or ``infinite`` as ``new_size``.
+The subvolume can be resized to an unlimited (but sparse) logical size by
+passing ``inf`` or ``infinite`` as ``<new_size>``.
-Authorize cephx auth IDs, the read/read-write access to fs subvolumes:
+Use a command of the following form to authorize CephX auth IDs. This provides
+the read/read-write access to file system subvolumes:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume authorize <vol_name> <sub_name> <auth_id> [--group_name=<group_name>] [--access_level=<access_level>]
-The ``access_level`` takes ``r`` or ``rw`` as value.
+The ``<access_level>`` option takes either ``r`` or ``rw`` as a value.
-Deauthorize cephx auth IDs, the read/read-write access to fs subvolumes:
+Use a command of the following form to deauthorize CephX auth IDs. This removes
+the read/read-write access to file system subvolumes:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph fs subvolume deauthorize <vol_name> <sub_name> <auth_id> [--group_name=<group_name>]
-List cephx auth IDs authorized to access fs subvolume:
+Use a command of the following form to list CephX auth IDs authorized to access
+the file system subvolume:

+Use a command of the following form to evict file system clients based on the
+auth ID and the subvolume mounted:
