</div>Hi Emma<br>
<br>
Brick didn't really evolve to cover the local storage case, so we've<br>
not made much progress in that direction.<br>
<br>
Local storage comes up fairly regularly, but solving all of the points<br>
(availability, API behaviour completeness, performance, scheduling)<br>
from a pure cinder PoV is a hard problem - i.e. making local storage<br>
look like a normal cinder volume. Specs welcome, email me if you want<br>
more details on the problems - there are certainly many people<br>
interested in seeing the problem solved.<br>
<br>
There is code in brick that could be used in nova as is to reduce<br>
duplication and give a single place to fix bugs - nobody has yet taken<br>
this work on as far as I know.<br>
