Hi there,<br>
I'd like to have cinder working with two storage: NAS and local disk, so that I can choose in Dashboard (or command line) where to create the volume.<br>
First I configured the mount of NAS device through NFS driver, and it worked fine. Then I tried the multi backend option of cinder, but I cannot see the local volume...<br>
<br>
Any suggestion, please?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Fiorenza<br>
