Volume encryption does not yet work with the Cinder NFS driver. However, Cinder will create volumes that appear to be encrypted. This was fixed in the RBD driver here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/386185/ We should apply a similar fix for the NFS driver.
According to our records, this should be resolved by openstack-cinder-9.1.4-12.el7ost. This build is available now.
