Filesystem SubVolume Group CRD

Rook allows creation of Ceph Filesystem SubVolumeGroups through the custom resource definitions (CRDs). Filesystem subvolume groups are an abstraction for a directory level higher than Filesystem subvolumes to effect policies (e.g., File layouts) across a set of subvolumes. For more information about CephFS volume, subvolumegroup and subvolume refer to the Ceph docs.

Creating daemon¶

To get you started, here is a simple example of a CRD to create a subvolumegroup on the CephFilesystem "myfs".
