OPTIONS

22       pool_name
23              specifies the disk pool name.  It must be  at  most  CA_MAXPOOL‐
24              NAMELEN characters long.
25
26       defsize
27              specifies the default amount of space reserved for a file.  This
28              is by default in bytes, but the number may  also  be  post-fixed
29              with 'k', 'M' or 'G' for kilobyte, Megabyte and Gigabyte respec‐
30              tively.
31
32       def_lifetime
33              specifies the default time a space or volatile file is  kept  in
34              the system (in seconds).
35
36       defpintime
37              specifies  the  default  time a file is kept on a given disk (in
38              seconds).
39
40       gc_start_thresh
41              specifies the minimum free space in the pool.  If the percentage
42              of  free  space  goes below this value, the garbage collector is
43              started. Default is 0.
44
45       gc_stop_thresh
46              specifies the percentage of free space in the pool  above  which
47              the garbage collector is stopped. Default is 0.
48
49       max_lifetime
50              specifies  the  maximum time a space or volatile file is kept in
51              the system (in seconds).
52
53       maxpintime
54              specifies the maximum time a file is kept on a  given  disk  (in
55              seconds).
56
57       pool_gids
58              if not zero, the disk pool is restricted to this comma separated
59              list of group gids.
60
61       pool_groups
62              if set and not "ALL", the disk pool is restricted to this  comma
63              separated list of group names.
64
65       retention_policy
66              specifies  the  retention  policy supported by the disk pool. It
67              can be R (for Replica), O (for Output)  or  C  (for  Custodial).
68              Default is R.
69
70       space_type
71              indicates  the  type of space supported in the disk pool. It can
72              be V (for Volatile), D (for Durable), P (for Permanent) or - (to
73              accept any type).  The latter is the default.
