Dear All,


We are looking forward to using the manila driver for auto-provisioning of file 
shares using GPFS. However, I have some concerns...



Manila  presumably gives tenant users access to file system commands like 
mmlinkfileset and mmunlinkfileset. Given that mmunlinkfileset quiesces the file 
system, there is potentially an impact from one tenant on another - i.e. 
someone unlinking and deleting a lot of filesets during a tenancy cleanup might 
cause a cluster pause long enough to trigger other failure events or even start 
evicting nodes. You can see why this would be bad in a cloud environment.



Has this scenario been addressed at all?



Cheers,

Luke.
