There is a lot of enabling work, but Stefan Hajnoczi has patches in flight for qemu and the Linux NFS client+server, and Matt Benjamin is adding Ganesha support and will work on getting the needed nfs-utils changes in place. It'll take a bit for this all to land upstream and in supported distros, but we think the overall stack in very promising! The challenge, I suspect, will be getting Manila and Nova to orchestrate it properly... If you're at the summit, I'll be talking a bit about this on Wednesday at 4:40 (http://sched.co/4A03). sage __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
