            Bug ID: 1226772
           Summary: [RFE] GlusterFS Smart volume management
           Product: GlusterFS
           Version: mainline
         Component: core
          Severity: high
          Assignee: bugs at gluster.org
          Reporter: csaba at redhat.com
                CC: bugs at gluster.org, gluster-bugs at redhat.com



Description of problem:

Creating / extending a volume is certainly possible with glusterfs through the
"gluster volume create / add-brick" commands. However, these commands needs to
be called with details about the resource that will be included in the volume.
We need a high-level interface that requires one to specify only what she
wants, not how to assemble the thing wanted. Possible syntax could be (showed
here only for demonstrational purposes, other syntax / semantics is fine too):

gluster volume instantiate <volume-name> <size>
gluster volume resize <volume-name> <size>

The original idea (and the use case behind it) is only about describing the
desired volume in terms of size; however, it could be considered to allow the
requestor to provide further constraints / preferences.
