<para>The <link xlink:href="http://www.quobyte.com/">Quobyte</link> volume
|
|
driver enables storing Block Storage service volumes on a Quobyte storage
|
|
back end. Block Storage service back ends are mapped to Quobyte volumes
|
|
and individual Block Storage service volumes are stored as files on a
|
|
Quobyte volume. Selection of the appropriate Quobyte volume is done by the
|
|
aforementioned back end configuration that specifies the Quobyte volume
|
|
explicitely.</para>

Storage service volumes and in the context of Quobyte volumes.
