<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Devs,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is an NFS backend driver for cinder, which supports only limited volume handling features. Specifically, "snapshot" and "cloning" features are missing.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eric Harney has proposed a feature of "NFS driver snapshot" [1][2][3], which was approved on Dec 2014 but not implemented yet.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[1] blueprint <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/nfs-snapshots" target="_blank">
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/nfs-snapshots</a><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[2] cinder-specs <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/133074/" target="_blank">
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/133074/</a> - merged for Kilo but moved to Liberty<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[3] implementation <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/147186/" target="_blank">
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/147186/</a> - WIP<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As of now [4] nova patch is a blocker for this feature.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tested this feature by applying [4] nova patch and it is working as per expectation.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[4] <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/149037/" target="_blank">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/149037/</a><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">IMO this is a very useful feature and I want to know communities opinion/direction about getting it merged during liberty time-frame.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks & Regards,<u></u><u></u></p>
