Set storage volume configuration keys

## Synopsis
```{line-block}

Description:
  Set storage volume configuration keys

  For backward compatibility, a single configuration key may still be set with:
      incus storage volume set [<remote>:]<pool> [<type>/]<volume> <key> <value>

  If the type is not specified, Incus assumes the type is "custom".
  Supported values for type are "custom", "container" and "virtual-machine".



```
```
incus storage volume set [<remote>:]<pool> [<type>/]<volume> <key>=<value>... [flags]
```

## Examples

```
  incus storage volume set default data size=1GiB
      Sets the size of a custom volume "data" in pool "default" to 1 GiB

  incus storage volume set default virtual-machine/data snapshots.expiry=7d
      Sets the snapshot expiration period for a virtual machine "data" in pool "default" to seven days
```
