hard_limit boolean added in 2.8 | Choices: no ← yes | Define whether the capacity for a filesystem is a hard limit. CAUTION This will cause the filesystem to go Read-Only if the capacity has already exceeded the logical size of the filesystem.
http boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Define whether to HTTP/HTTPS protocol is enabled for the filesystem.
name string / required |  | Filesystem Name.
nfs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | (Deprecate) Define whether to NFSv3 protocol is enabled for the filesystem. This option will be deprecated in 2.10, use nfsv3 instead.
