Hi Zhidong,

Unfortunately stable/kilo branch is opened only for security fixes now. So
we can't backport this fix.

Re: [openstack-dev] [cinder] [Sahara] Block Device Driver updates

2015-11-22 Thread Zhidong Yu 
It seems there was a bug introduced in Kilo and then fixed in Liberty [6].
However, since there are more users of Kilo than of Liberty, I am wondering
if the fix has been back ported to Kilo. I could not find it except for
this one [7] which seems to be a different issue.

[openstack-dev] [cinder] [Sahara] Block Device Driver updates

2015-09-30 Thread Ivan Kolodyazhny 
Hi team,

I know that Block Device Driver (BDD) is not popular in Cinder community.
The main issues were:

* driver is not good maintained
* it doesn't feet minimum features set
* there is no CI for it
* it's not a Cinder way/it works only when instance and volume are created
on the same host
* etc

AFAK, it's widely used in Sahara &  Hadoop communities because it works
fast. I won't discuss driver's performance in this thread. I share my
performance tests results once I'll finish it.

I'm going to share drive updates with you about issues above.

1) driver is not good maintained - we are working on it right now and will
fix any found issues. We've got devstack plugin [1] for this driver.

2) it doesn't feet minimum features set - I've filed a blueprint [2] for
it. There are patches that implement needed features in the gerrit [3].

3) there is no CI for it - In Cinder community, we've got strong
requirement that each driver must has CI. I've absolutely agree with that.
That's why new infra job is proposed [4].

4) it works only when instance and volume are created on the same host -
I've filed a blueprint [5] but after testing I've found that it's already
implemented by [6].


I hope, I've answered all questions that were asked in IRC and in comments
for [6]. I will do my best to support this driver and propose fix to delete
if community decide  to delete it from the cinder tree
