Create and manage shares
=========================
Shares are file storage that you provide access to instances. You can allow
access to a share to a running instance or deny access to a share and allow
access to it to another instance at any time. You can also delete a share.
You can create snapshot from a share if the driver supports it. Only
administrative users can create share types.
