Pools

StorageOS aggregates host storage from all nodes where the StorageOS container runs into a storage pool. A pool is a collection of storage based on host attributes such as class of server, storage or location.

Node storage can be allocated to a specific pool using Node selectors. Pool node selectors look for labels on host nodes and will aggregate storage from nodes whose labels match into the specific pool.

Pools can have feature labels applied to them such as storageos.com/overcommit which allows the pool to have its storage overcommited.
