# Manila share features support mapping

Here we provide information on support of different share features by different share drivers.

Column values contain the OpenStack release letter when a feature was added to the driver. Column value “?” means that this field requires an update with current information. Column value “-” means that this feature is not currently supported.

## Mapping of share drivers and share features support

Driver name | create delete share | manage unmanage share | extend share | shrink share | create delete snapshot | create share from snapshot | manage unmanage snapshot | revert to snapshot | mountable snapshot

Note

The common capability reported by back ends differs from some names seen in the above table:

- DHSS is reported as `driver_handles_share_servers` (See details for DHSS)

- create share from snapshot is reported as `create_share_from_snapshot_support`

- multiple subnets per AZ is reported as `multiple_subnets_per_availability_zone`
