I think it would be best to have this discussion with Andreas Nilsson (CCed),
who is the Cockpit UX designer.
Andreas, the basic question is this: When exporting a new shared directory via
NFS, should this UI also support/allow the creation of *new* volumes on the host
machine? We currently have volume creation available in the storage
functionality backed by storaged, of course.
Do we need to provide a second, parallel implementation for the NFS sharing UI?
There are pros and cons, of course.
I agree with both the pros and cons, and my answer right now is "I don't
know yet".
How do you envision things to work in the CLI workflow?
I'm currently in the research phase of the Cockpit side of the design.
Right now I'm collecting previous art and experimenting with NFS on my
own systems to get a feel for it.

Feel free to add any other examples of other projects who does file sharing.
