+
+## Volume Server
+
+### Upload File
+
+```bash
+curl -F file=@/home/chris/myphoto.jpg http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6
+{"size": 43234}
+```
+
+The size returned is the size stored on SeaweedFS, sometimes the file is automatically gzipped based on the mime type.
+
+### Upload File Directly
+
+```bash
+curl -F file=@/home/chris/myphoto.jpg http://localhost:9333/submit
+{"fid":"3,01fbe0dc6f1f38","fileName":"myphoto.jpg","fileUrl":"localhost:8080/3,01fbe0dc6f1f38","size":68231}
+```
+
+This API is just for convenience. The master server would get an file id and store the file to the right volume server.
+It is a convenient API and does not support different parameters when assigning file id. (or you can add the support and send a push request.)
+
+### Delete File
+
+```bash
+curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6
+```
+	
+### Create а specific volume on a specific volume server
+
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:8080/admin/assign_volume?replication=000&volume=3"
+```
+
+This generates volume 3 on this volume server.
+
+If you use other replicationType, e.g. 001, you would need to do the same on other volume servers to create the mirroring volumes.
+
+### Delete а volume
+
+This API should be protected just in case someone delete your volumes!
+It deletes the volume physically.
+
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:8080/admin/volume/delete?volume=volumeId"
+```
+
+### Unmount/mount а volume
+
+This API should be protected!
+
+This deactivates a given volume. This is useful to process a volume stopping the volume server. Possible use cases are compaction, index recreation or moving the volume to another server. As soon as a volume is unmounted it won't be accessed by the volume any more and can be safely changed or moved away.
+
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:8080/admin/volume/unmount?volume=volumeId"
+```
+
+The counterpart is to mount a volume. This adds a volume file to a volume server without the need to restart the volume server. A use case is to mount a previously unmounted volume again or to add a volume, that has been moved to another server to the new server.
+
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:8080/admin/volume/mount?volume=volumeId"
+```
+
+### Delete а specific collection on a specific volume server
+
+This API should be protected just in case someone delete your volumes!
+
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:8080/admin/delete_collection?collection=some_collection_name."
+```
+
+### Check Volume Server Status
+
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:8080/status?pretty=y"
