Ben,
Thank you very much for the history on the driver here. This was all
news to me. It helps me to understand why cloning was listed as
supported but was no longer implemented. Also explains why the simpler
'cp' based solution hasn't been implemented. I was wondering why that
hadn't jus

Originally the NFS driver did support snapshots, but it was implemented by
just 'cp'ing the file containing the raw bits. This works fine (if
inefficiently) for unattached volumes, but if you do this on an attached
volume the snapshot won't be crash consistent at all.

Hi Jordan, Slade,
Currently NFS driver does not support cloning neither snapshots (which are
the base for implementing cloning). AFAIC, the NFS driver was in Cinder
before the minimum requirements being discussed and set, so, it just stood
