Description Pablo Iranzo Gómez 2016-02-05 11:07:51 UTC
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:

Comment 3 Eric Harney 2016-02-05 14:47:30 UTC
This will require some significant work in Nova and Cinder to support, see Dan Berrange's comment on bug 1305024.

Comment 4 Stephen Gordon 2016-06-09 18:48:53 UTC
Bulk update to reflect scope of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 and Red Hat OpenStack Platform does not include this issue (No pm_ack+).

Comment 16 Gregory Charot 2022-04-21 16:40:28 UTC
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.
