* `dedupe` - indicates that a backend/pool can provide shares using some
deduplication technology. The default value of the dedupe capability (if a
driver doesn't report it) is False. Drivers cannot report to the scheduler
that they support both dedupe and non-deduped share. For each pool it's
either always on or always off. Administrators can make a share type use
deduplication by setting this extra-spec to '<is> True'. Administrators can
prevent a share type from using deduplication by setting this extra-spec to
'<is> False'. Added in Liberty.

scheduler that they support both dedupe and non-deduped share. For each pool
it's either always on or always off, even if the drivers can technically
support both dedupe and non-deduped in a pool. Since Mitaka, the logic is
changed to allow a driver to report dedupe=[True, False] if it can support
both dedupe and non-deduped in a pool. Administrators can make a share type
use deduplication by setting this extra-spec to '<is> True'. Administrators
can prevent a share type from using deduplication by setting this extra-spec
to '<is> False'. Added in Liberty.
* `compression` - indicates that a backend/pool can provide shares using some
compression technology. The default value of the compression capability (if a
driver doesn't report it) is False. Drivers cannot report to the scheduler
that they support both compression and non-compression. For each pool it's
either always on or always off. Administrators can make a share type use

* `thin_provisioning` - shares will not be space guaranteed and
overprovisioning will be enabled. This capability defaults to False.
