disk create: Enable multi-writer option

[ccancellieri]

Hi,
I'm trying to enable beta (or alpha) --multi-writer flag in my gcloud project doing:

$ gcloud beta compute disks create XXXXXXXXXX-disk --project=XXXXXXXX --type=pd-ssd --size=30GB --zone=us-central1-a --multi-writer --physical-block-size=4096 --verbosity="debug"

With no success... the documentation says that it's possible to use that option but it doesn't work currently.

And: .... Is it possible to use a multi-writer disk with terraform ?

LOG:

@ccancellieri for this feature, where did you see? Can you post the link of the doc over here that will be helpful? Thanks

Here it is:

@ccancellieri Thank you for clarification. Unfortunately the feature has not been implemented in google_compute_disk yet. Changing the label to 'enhancement` for dev backlog.

FYI:
Just created an issue report on the GCP side:

[c2thorn]

Labeling this upstream since the feature is still in alpha.

[gdsotirov]

The feature is already in beta, so should we expect it in the google-beta provider at least?
