         "name" : "admin",
         "sizeOnDisk" : 847872,
         "empty" : false
      },
      {
         "name" : "config",
         "sizeOnDisk" : 98304,
         "empty" : false
      },
      {
         "name" : "local",
         "sizeOnDisk" : 73728,
         "empty" : false
      },
      {
         "name" : "sample",
         "sizeOnDisk" : 1273856,
