| PersistenceType | uint16 | |
| Description | string | An enumerated value representing the intended persistence characteristics of the FileSystem. A value of "Persistent" indicates that the FileSystem should be persistent, should be preserved through an orderly shutdown and should be protected. A value of "Temporary" indicates that the FileSystem should be non-persistent, should not be protected and may not survive a shutdown. A value of "External" indicates that the FileSystem should be controlled outside of the operating environment and may need to be protected by specialized means. A value of "Other" is provided to allow for additional persistence types, to be described in the OtherPersistenceType attribute, and is expected to be rarely, if ever, used. |
