# Quick Start Guide

## Prerequisites

*   **TIR Account:** Ensure you have access to an TIR project.
*   **Active Instances:** (Optional) Have compute instances running if you want to attach the SFS immediately.

## Create a New Shared File-System

1.  **Log in to TIR:** Navigate to your project dashboard.
2.  **Navigate to SFS:**
    *   Click on **File Systems** > **Shared File-System (SFS)** in the sidebar.
    *   Click **CREATE FILE-SYSTEM**.

3.  **Configure Storage Size:**
    *   Select the desired **Storage Size** using the slider or input field.
    *   Review the pricing information displayed.
    *   Click **CREATE** to provision the file system.

4.  **View Details:**
    *   Once created, you can view the SFS details on the main page.
    *   Click **Nodes** to see which compute instances have this file system attached.

## Next Steps

After creating your SFS:

*   **Mount to Instances**: Attach the SFS to your compute instances to start using shared storage
*   **Monitor Usage**: Track storage consumption using the monitoring dashboard
*   **Resize as Needed**: Scale up your storage capacity when your requirements grow

For detailed information about managing your SFS, see the [Features](./Features.mdx) page.
