Open Stack

Hi folks,

We're starting to look at providing NFS on top of CephFS, using NFS
daemons running in Nova instances.  Looking ahead, we can see that
this is likely to run into similar issues in the openstack CI that the
generic driver did.

I got the impression that the main issue with testing the generic
driver was that bleeding edge master versions of Nova/Neutron/Cinder
were in use when running in CI, and other stuff had a habit of
breaking.  Is that roughly correct?

Assuming versions are the main issue, we're going to need to look at
solutions to that, which could mean either doing some careful pinning
of the versions of Nova/Neutron used by Manila CI in general, or
creating a separate CI setup for CephFS that had that version pinning.
My preference would be to see this done Manila wide, so that the
generic driver could benefit as well.

Thoughts?

John
