The share size can be limited by share type¶
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/manila/+spec/share-size-limited-by-share-type
Add support for limit the size of share through the share type, the share created by the user shall not be greater than the maximum value set in the share type and shall not be less than the minimum value set. Of course, depending on the usage scenario, only a maximum or a minimum can be set.
Problem description¶
In some usage scenarios, we do not want users to create too large share size, then affect the number of shares that can be created, maybe limited by project quota or backend storage, or in some usage scenarios, creating a share that is too small makes no sense. So administrators desperately need a way to limit the size of share created by users.
Use Cases¶
In scenarios where storage backend capacity is small, or project quota is limited and the number of users is high, In order to enable more users to create their own share, Administrators need to limit the maximum size of each share. In other scenarios, if the share is too small to ensure the normal operation of the business, the administrator needs to set the minimum value of each share. Administrator can also set the maximum and minimum values of share according to actual needs.
Proposed change¶
The following changes are proposed:
Two new extra_specs keys of share type are added for support set the minimum share size and maximum share size.
provisioning:min_share_size Set the minimum size of share by the share type.
provisioning:max_share_size Set the maximum size of share by the share type.
The value of these keys is a positive integer, the unit defaults to GB.
These two extra specifications will be visible to end users. If they’re not set, it is assumed that there are no share size limits enforced by the share type, but limits may be enforced by the service and the user’s quotas.
Alternatives¶
None
Data model impact¶
None
REST API impact¶
The size restrictions will be checked at the API level as part of share creation, extend, shrink or migration.
Security impact¶
None
Notifications impact¶
None.
Other end user impact¶
The size of the share created by the end user will be limited by the share type if set specified keys in extra_specs in share type. Operations including extend, shrink, and migration operations are also subject to this restriction.
Performance Impact¶
None
Other deployer impact¶
None
Developer impact¶
None

Work Items¶
Add size check in API level
Add related unit and functional tests
Add docs update
Dependencies¶
None
Testing¶
Unit test to test whether these keys restrictions are in effect.
Tempest test whether set keys work correctly from API perspective.
Documentation Impact¶
The manila API documentation will need to be updated to reflect extra_specs of share type support two more keys.
