Description of problem: Hi We've been testing cinder and nova volume encryption as detailed on the manual at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/6/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#volume_advanced_encrypt But it was not working properly on NFS backend and no information is provided there. After some investigation it has been found that there's ongoing discussion on this http://osdir.com/ml/openstack-dev/2015-11/msg01907.html. How reproducible: Configure OSP cinder/nova encryption and validate as per http://docs.openstack.org/juno/config-reference/content/section_testing_encryption.html Actual results: If backend is NFS, the resulting data is visible, if it's dm volumes, it's encrypted Expected results: The data should be encrypted whatever the backend is Additional info:
This will require some significant work in Nova and Cinder to support, see Dan Berrange's comment on bug 1305024.
Bulk update to reflect scope of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 and Red Hat OpenStack Platform does not include this issue (No pm_ack+).
Removing 18 flag - We're still facing some technical issue with NFS encryption, we need to scope the effort to fix them and plan. Considering it as a 18.1 feature.
