<div dir="ltr">Both Cinder and Manila have the ability to provide storage to VMs that uses the NFS protocol. The main difference is what the VM gets:<div>- In Cinder, the VM will get a block device, which is usually backed by a file on the NFS server. The user can then create a local file system on that block device and use it for their purposes.</div><div>- In Manila, the VM will get an NFS share, as opposed to a block device with Cinder. This is more in line with how NFS is generally used, and also (I believe) allows sharing between VMs.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 4:02 AM, Li, Chen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chen.li@intel.com" target="_blank">chen.li@intel.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:9.0pt">Manila provides management of shared or distributed filesystems (e.g. NFS, CIFS) with the intention of becoming a core OpenStack service as the project progresses towards maturity. It provides persistent file-based
storage to and coordinates shared access amongst running Nova instances or other external requestors. Its pluggable provider architecture facilitates the creation and management of shared file systems.<span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
