in BZ 892686 we developed a gluster driver for cinder that uses the fuse interface. There is a significant advantage in using the native qemu support that's been added recently upstream and is coming in RHEL 6.5
*** Bug 978041 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
No code changes directly in Cinder. Nova changes tracked in bug 978503.
sanity plan created and sent to programmer for review: https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/plan/10606/openstack-cinder-storage-general-sanity-plan#reviewcases
Eric, since this was moved on_qa, please explain how we can test this.
Set qemu_allowed_storage_drivers=gluster on the Nova compute node, attach a volume via GlusterFS, and then look at "virsh domblklist" and you will see that it is using a network disk rather than a path to a file. ("virsh dumpxml" may provide a more obvious way to see this, the difference in domblklist is easy to overlook.) Note that this is not working with snapshots yet, need bug 1017288 to get sorted out.
see bug 1020979 for configuration
since we cannot attach a volume (1020979) I am blocking this FRE.
