     4  # NAME
     5  docker-volume-create - Create a new volume
     6  
     7  # SYNOPSIS
     8  **docker volume create**
     9  [**-d**|**--driver**[=*DRIVER*]]
    10  [**--help**]
    11  [**--label**[=*[]*]]
    12  [**--name**[=*NAME*]]
    13  [**-o**|**--opt**[=*[]*]]
    14  
    15  # DESCRIPTION
    16  
    17  Creates a new volume that containers can consume and store data in. If a name is not specified, Docker generates a random name. You create a volume and then configure the container to use it, for example:
    18  
    19      $ docker volume create --name hello
    20      hello
    21      $ docker run -d -v hello:/world busybox ls /world
    22  
    23  The mount is created inside the container's `/src` directory. Docker doesn't not support relative paths for mount points inside the container. 
    24  
    25  Multiple containers can use the same volume in the same time period. This is useful if two containers need access to shared data. For example, if one container writes and the other reads the data.
    26  
    27  ## Driver specific options
    28  
    29  Some volume drivers may take options to customize the volume creation. Use the `-o` or `--opt` flags to pass driver options:
    30  
    31      $ docker volume create --driver fake --opt tardis=blue --opt timey=wimey
    32  
    33  These options are passed directly to the volume driver. Options for
    34  different volume drivers may do different things (or nothing at all).
    35  
    36  The built-in `local` driver on Windows does not support any options.
    37  
    38  The built-in `local` driver on Linux accepts options similar to the linux `mount`
    39  command:
    40  
    41      $ docker volume create --driver local --opt type=tmpfs --opt device=tmpfs --opt o=size=100m,uid=1000
    42  
    43  Another example:
    44  
    45      $ docker volume create --driver local --opt type=btrfs --opt device=/dev/sda2
    46  
    47  
    48  # OPTIONS
    49  **-d**, **--driver**="*local*"
    50    Specify volume driver name
    51  
    52  **--help**
    53    Print usage statement
    54  
    55  **--label**=*label*
    56     Set metadata for a volume
    57  
    58  **--name**=""
    59    Specify volume name
    60  
    61  **-o**, **--opt**=[]
    62    Set driver specific options
