| Doc Text: |
Compute is able to use libgfapi to connect to Block Storage GlusterFS volumes. However, a known issue exists where libvirt/Compute does not support Block Storage snapshots with this feature. This means that:
* You can:
--Use the Block Storage GlusterFS plugin to set Red Hat Storage as the storage provider for OpenStack Block Storage.
--Create Block Storage volumes in the above setup and attach those volumes to a Compute instance using FUSE.
--Create Block Storage snapshots and clones of these Block Storage volumes.
* You CANNOT:
--Attach those Block Storage volumes to a Compute instance via QEMU Gluster Blockdriver libgfapi.
--Create snapshots of a Block Storage volume that is attached to a Compute instance via libgfapi when using the GlusterFS plugin.

I'm setting docs_scoped- on this based on the available state but if things change, particularly if this is as suggested switched based on a configuration flag, we'll need to re-evaluate. (In reply to Stephen Gordon from comment #1) > I'm setting docs_scoped- on this based on the available state but if things > change, particularly if this is as suggested switched based on a > configuration flag, we'll need to re-evaluate. The code upstream for this feature has it disabled by default and a config option to enable it. ( https://review.openstack.org/#/c/39498/12/etc/nova/nova.conf.sample ) Eric, To my understanding we need to configure glance to work with a gluster mount and run instances from the image? Please specify if we need to specify any configuration in glance and libvirt as well as qemu to allow such configuration.

This is a Cinder/Nova feature and doesn't affect Glance. If qemu_allowed_storage_drivers is set to "gluster" in Nova, Nova will use libgfapi when attaching Gluster Cinder volumes. see bug 1020979 for configuration This RFE is blocked by 1020979 - we cannot attach the volume when using libgfapi New doc text with notes from Tushar Katarki.
