Description Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2013-12-12 14:42:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

Cinder is writing state information into /etc/cinder/volumes.  I believe that persistent state data like this should go into /var/lib/cinder, not into /etc.  I expect /etc to have administrator maintained configuration data.

This would bring our cinder packages in line with the behavior of other OpenStack services.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

openstack-cinder-2013.2-3.fc20.noarch
Comment 1 Eric Harney 2013-12-12 17:26:37 UTC 
This comes from "volumes_dir = /etc/cinder/volumes" in cinder-dist.conf.

/etc/cinder/volumes is referenced by /etc/tgt/conf.d/cinder.conf and used to load tgtd information.
Comment 2 Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2015-03-18 21:08:00 UTC 
I guess I don't feel strongly about this, since I was surprised to find I was the one who opened it.
