Not sure if this is a fit for use case, but you can use volume-types for
that and the filter scheduler will pick that up for you.

Check this doc here: [1]

NOTE:
You don't have to use the multi-backend feature on a single node if you
don't want to.  This works still with multiple unique volume-nodes as
well.  Let me know if you get hung up, happy to help.

Thanks
John
