I too think that having a full fledged NFS driver would be great !

Specifically, "snapshot" and "cloning" features are missing. Eric Harney has proposed a feature of "NFS driver snapshot" [1][2][3], which was approved on Dec 2014 but not implemented yet. [1] blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/nfs-snapshots [2] cinder-specs https://review.openstack.org/#/c/133074/ - merged for Kilo but moved to Liberty [3] implementation https://review.openstack.org/#/c/147186/ - WIP As of now [4] nova patch is a blocker for this feature. I have tested this feature by applying [4] nova patch and it is working as per expectation. [4] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/149037/ IMO this is a very useful feature and I want to know communities opinion/direction about getting it merged during liberty time-frame.
