Hi Jordan, Slade,

Currently NFS driver does not support cloning neither snapshots (which are
the base for implementing cloning). AFAIC, the NFS driver was in Cinder
before the minimum requirements being discussed and set, so, it just stood
there with the features it already supported.

There is currently this job
'gate-tempest-dsvm-full-devstack-plugin-nfs-nv'[1] that by the way are
failing in the same test you mentioned tough passing the snapshot tests
(not shure how the configuration is doing that) and a work[2] in progress
to support the snapshot feature.

So, Jordan, I think its OK to allow tempest to skip this tests, provided
that at least in the NFS driver, tempest isn't being an enforcement to
Cinder minimum features requirements.

Erlon
