+- Type: string

+If non-empty, the pool is marked as used for VitastorFS with metadata stored
+in block image (regular Vitastor volume) named as the value of this pool parameter.
+
+When a pool is marked as used for VitastorFS, regular block volume creation in it
+is disabled (vitastor-cli refuses to create images without --force) to protect
+the user from block volume and FS file ID collisions and data loss.
+
+[vitastor-nfs](../usage/nfs.ru.md), in its turn, refuses to use pools not marked
+for the corresponding FS when starting. This also implies that you can use one
+pool only for one VitastorFS.
+
+The second thing that is disabled for VitastorFS pools is reporting per-inode space
+usage statistics in etcd because a FS pool may store a very large number of files
+and statistics for them all would take a lot of space in etcd.

+Когда пул помечается как используемый для VitastorFS, создание обычных блочных

+образом, от потери данных.

+пул может использоваться только для одной VitastorFS.

+Также для ФС-пулов отключается передача статистики в etcd по отдельным инодам,
