Hi Jordan,

The patch [4] is abandoned by the owner because as of now as it’s not an appropriate way to fix this issue and it need to be fixed using some other way.
Nova members please let us know your suggestions about the same.

Thank you,

Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [cinder][nova] snapshot and cloning for NFS backend

Hi

The patch [4] has been abandoned but it's not clear why. I too think that having a full fledged NFS driver would be great !

Hi Devs,

There is an NFS backend driver for cinder, which supports only limited volume handling features. Specifically, "snapshot" and "cloning" features are missing.

Eric Harney has proposed a feature of "NFS driver snapshot" [1][2][3], which was approved on Dec 2014 but not implemented yet.

[1] blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/nfs-snapshots
[2] cinder-specs https://review.openstack.org/#/c/133074/  - merged for Kilo but moved to Liberty
[3] implementation https://review.openstack.org/#/c/147186/  - WIP

As of now [4] nova patch is a blocker for this feature.
I have tested this feature by applying [4] nova patch and it is working as per expectation.

IMO this is a very useful feature and I want to know communities opinion/direction about getting it merged during liberty time-frame.

Thanks & Regards,

Abhishek Kekane
