Hi Matt,
I am in charge of the Scality CI. It used to report to changes in Cinder. A
change in devstack broke us a couple of months ago, so I had to turn off my
CI (because it was reporting false negative) while developing a patch. The
patch took a long time to develop and merge but was merged finally:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/310204/

But in the mean time, something else crept in, hidden by the first failure.
So the Scality CI is still broken, but it is my intention to find the
commit that broke it and come up with a patch.

The C is still running on every change to Cinder, just that the result is
not reported back. Results are here
https://37.187.159.67:5443/job/cinder-sofs-validate/ (yeah, that's an IP
and with an invalid HTTPS certificate, I am not proud :p). This is the
build artififact (logs) for a job that ran a couple of hours ago:
https://37.187.159.67:5443/job/cinder-sofs-validate/17356/artifact/jenkins-logs/

So overall, I struggle to maintain that CI. Because I always have to play
catch up. That's fine but what bother me is that when I finally come up
with a patch (be it for Nova or Cinder) reviews take a long time because
basically not a lot of people care/know about
about os-assisted-volume-snapshots.

Cheers,
Jordan
