Thanks Jerome for the clarification.
I just posted out a blogpost for adding a Second volume to Cinder in 
Folsom [3]. Maybe it could be merged with the official Folsom Ubuntu 
Cinder documentation ? There is only H/A aspects that are mentioned by now.

Someone from the documentation team ? Could you please point me out some 
materials for committing a new doc for that ?

Thanks,
-Sylvain
